Re: Help finding the year of a "new" outboard

[ddoyle]

punch 1998 into the parts dealers search and see if the diagrams match the engine. the 2 million serial numbers started in 2004 so if 98 aint right work your way up.

BTW Friends DO NOT facilitate honda 2 hp 4 stroke spending by friends. Literally the biggest piece of crap on the water. Garbage. Crankcase is made of bubble gum wrappers, parts are stupid expensive and as you are finding info is too hard to find. FYI the service specs on these BF 2 hp engines changes significantly from year to year I have about a gigabyte of data here on hondas and I look at it purely to assure myself that Antiques are the way to enjoy the water.

If he nicks the prop it is 70 bucks, coil 100 bucks…………. I’d sell mine but I just can’t bring myself to saddle anyone else with it. They might convince themselves it is worth what I have into it and spend hard earned money on it believing the honda hype. I can’t do that in good conscience.

Does he know how LOUD it is going to be?

EDIT:

I have a copy of Honda Service Workshop and repair BF2D Paper book Part no. 66zw600. If you are a member PM an email and I can send it to you. it is 4 mb which my comp/inet connection balk at so please confirm it is the right one for your project before asking.
