Honda makes a 4 stroke, but the 40 and 50 are carbed. Old technology.

is that so bad? old, or proven?

What can we say? The BF40 EFI raises the bar on what a smaller outboard ought to be; over 10 mpg means you can do a lot of fishing on a little fuel. We like that.


Is this motor even available yet? It's not listed on Honda's own website. And yes, carbed is Old technology, not nearly as reliable as EFI, and doesn't perform, or start as well as EFI. Proven? Yes, Proven to be a pain in the gas when it's cold out.
