I dont think the flywheel got turned around, not sure how I could tell for sure? Plugs are all the same, replaced last summer. I synched the carbs last summer too, so maybe I adjusted the mixture a bit too. Ill have to double check that. I ordered a new fly wheel, while that is in route could I...

Wow, yours took a beating. Did you end up ordering new flywheel or did it continue running like that with one less magnet?

Thank you all! It would appear C-Wolfe hit the nail on the head! One of the magnets came loose on the flywheel, and got lodged up there. I reinstalled the flywheel minus the broken magnet (for testing purposes only) and was able to hand rotate the engine, phew! While I have you here- I have also...

I did disengage the bendix from the flywheel, still wouldn’t turn. I inspected the oil fill cap and dipstick but didn’t see any milky residue… The last oil analysis less than 10 hours ago didn’t turn up anything unusual. I’ll try and post pictures of the spark plugs and bore scope pics later...

Update: looks like the motor might be seized. Pulled the spark plugs and tried to turn the flywheel and couldn’t do it. Could not find evidence of water on the plugs nor the cylinder head when I bore scoped them though. This whole ordeal is so bizarre to me. Have no idea where to turn next or...

Was out on the water earlier today trilling. All of a sudden one of my motors (2005 Honda BF50) made an abnormal sound. At the time, I knew it was a familiar sound as it was almost like a higher pitch revving up of something. Within a second it stopped, both my dad and I perplexed couldn’t...

Reviving this thread in case someone ran into the issue I did. I have a Cape Cruiser 23’ with aluminum tanks. After seeing/reading some of the horror stories I decided it was in my best interest to replace my pickups and sending units. I was able to remove the lag bolts holding the tanks to the...

If using for fishing/trolling I thought this setup might be better placement as my eyes are always facing aft when I’m in the cockpit. I installed this over the winter so haven’t used it in this configuration yet.

Cockpit Fishfinder

Anyone happen to know if the pickup tubes on the Cape Cruiser models (we have 23 venture) are plastic or metal? My tanks are aluminum which I think differs from most C-Dorys I see that are plastic. I don’t want to start digging around back there and risk breaking something if I don’t need to.

Thanks ill try this next time!
