Default Honda 30hp 4stroke
Just picked up a 2003 Honda BF30 4stroke off craigslist. The guy i bought it from said he hit something in the water and the engine started running rough. He idled back to the landing. Im thinking maybe he sheared a flywheel key or maybe the timing belt slipped and jumped time. The motor is in good shape and i couldnt see any damage to the lower unit. I gave the guy $350 for it. Hoping this will be a cheap fix. Gonna look at it this weekend

I've seen some on Craigslist for a pretty good price if you don't mind having a motor shipped. Id like to hold out for a 40 mercury.

I'm sure those rebuilt tohatsu's aren't cheap. A remanufactured block cost two grand. I saw a 2001 40 tohatsu with an old (1976) boat for 2000 a week or so ago.
