    Honda BF130 problems, needs input

    After some chiseling and cleaning. I can now see through the holes by cylinder 1 and 3. So now there's a path for it to flow. Any recommendations on how to clean up the matting surface of the head? I tried brake clean and I razor. The razor didn't do much. Also the intake gasket is horrible. It...

    Honda BF130 problems, needs input

    I'm more concerned about the rust that I see involving cylinder 4. Also, because I've been running on 3 cylinder for who knows how long, I want to see if it's sealing properly. And you're right, this is now just becoming a fun project for me. :)

    Honda BF130 problems, needs input

    Matt, I searched the internet for a head, they're hard to fine now. Guess 130hp isn't that popular due to so head issues. A new head would cost 600 but that's without new valve stems, guides and what not. I'm guessing they should be replaced together for a better seal right? Or am I just over...

    Honda BF130 problems, needs input

    I spent 2 hours chipping away a pathway for water flow. Next would be to remove the valve stem and gonna hose down the head. I already used compressed air, but it didn't do much. The hole in the exhaust connects directly with the water, so I'll need to find a way to plug up the hole. I'm not too...

    Honda BF130 problems, needs input

    this looks promising. I just fear it will eat up the aluminum. :) But now that I have the head apart, chisel, hose and air compressor hopefully will help.

    Honda BF130 problems, needs input

    Thank you. I was able to remove the cylinder head without removing the pulley. The manual instructed to remove several other parts too and they didn't need to be removed. Well, I don't think the cylinder head looks good. - Near cylinder 4, on the exhaust side, I see a pinhole and missing...

    The manual said to remove the cam pulley, and that sucker ain't moving. So if I don't have to remove it, that's even better.

    Honda BF130 problems, needs input

    I'm having trouble removing the timing belt driving pulley. Any tips? I don't have the special tools describe in the manual. It seems like a good impact driver would loosen it, my dewalt 20v impact didn't do anything. Also with the timing belt off, when removing the pulley, you probably don't...

    Honda BF130 problems, needs input

    I hope it's not too bad. :) I've been studying the manual on how to remove the head. I haven't work on 4 stroke engine before so I'm treading slowly. I cleared most of the salt buildup from picture 3, and it looks like maybe water was able to trickle or pass thru, since the clog isn't packed...

    Honda BF130 problems, needs input

    Definitely saw more sludge there. Here are some photos after I removed the intake manifold. I knew I had salt buildup, since my telltale would get clogged up when something in the engine is dislodge. But man, I wasn't expecting this. Peaking in to look at the valves for cylinder 4, i see some...

    Honda BF130 problems, needs input

    So I was in the process of removing the intake manifold, while removing the pcv tube from the intake, I see gray sludge in the tube. Is this expected because there's water in oil and the oil is gray milky latte?

    Honda BF130 problems, needs input

    Yeah but there is definitely water in cylinder 4. I replaced new spark plugs and number 4 is clean. Will a lil leak of water into the cylinder prevent combustion? But if it's leaking water, why compression number isn't that bad? Hmmm

    Honda BF130 problems, needs input

    I'll go ahead and start to pull the head. I actually wanted to do this when I first got the engine since the water telltale stream was constantly clogged up at the t joint with salt or debris. But the motor overheat alarm never triggered and so I assumed it was cooled properly.

    Honda BF130 problems, needs input

    Hi, I've been reading a lot from this forum in trying to diagnose my engine problem. I own the engine for 2 years now. Serial number that is on the engine frame is bzbe 1400469. Looking up the info on the motor, it is a 2003 model so it should not have the problem with cracked head. This boat...

    Honda bf130 won't go full throttle

    I took the boat out today and my honda would not go past 3000rpm. Once it hit 3000, it would start to stutter. Took the boat out twice before and had no problem. I made a video of it. It idles fine and shift fine. So i drove around at 3000 rpm and i decided to give it more throttle, and for 5...
