Can you help me with a issue; my motor was leaking gas out the back when I was using it and I also noticed when I tried to go full throttle it maybe went for about 10 seconds and then started to loose it and try to shut off or shut off completely
The serial number is located on a metal tag on the motor’s mounting bracket. My 15 hp shows model BF15D on this tag as well as a serial # starting with BALJ- and a string of #s. I don’t believe the year is integrated with serial #.
i think its posted on the side sticker 900 +/- 50 rpm is usually the stock setting. I have a little hour meter on mine that also shows the rpm. Same unit i use on my mowers and jet skis for maintenance records.
I have a 15hp with electric start automatic carburetor, I use this boat exclusively for trolling, I can’t get my boat to troll less than 3mph, if I turn my idle down, will it help reduce my speed when the transmission is engaged? Thank you for your help!
I have a 15 on a 21’ Hudson Bay Freighter, the slowest I can get mine is 3mph, I’m hoping that reducing my idle speed will help reduce my trolling speed...thoughts?
@@nealsleeper5586 I just bought a 15 Honda and its factory idle is set low I'm trolling at like 1.7 in a 14ft deep v I just sold my Honda 10 I had it set at 2.5 caught alot of fish but I think I'm going to keep my idle were it is always wanted to have the ability to troll that slow I think 3 is to fast
@@nealsleeper5586 I can adjust pretty easy with the lick down on the throttle but 3 is fast I like to crank the throttle up to 3 4 ti get a reaction from following fish but wouldnt like to troll that fast
@@mattstencel4302 Been so long since I had this boat, sold it to an alcoholic who later sunk it. I serviced it with oul, plugs and filter. The engine was the best bit of the boat.
