Location: Bloomington, MN | The 2005 Honda is running pretty rough at low speed. I brought into the shop with full intentions for having the full nine yards of maintenence done even though I can handle the basics. Appartently the 3 carbs are clogged, and I have always used 91 oct. + a stabill like conditioner. The motor just runs rough at idle, but apparently the carbuerators need an overhall. The cost for this procedure to be done is close to $1000!!!! This includes new plugs, oil change, and new filter, lower unit lube. Is this a normal cost of up keep for a 6 year old with low hours on a Honda???? Never use any fuel that has ethanol in it. I always thought that 91 oct. was free of this evil element, and due the hope and change going on they will glady put the B-Screws to you! Since I work constantly and the boat is there, and I need it this weekend...Labor Day cocktails won't be on me! The new 70 hp Yamaha tiller looks fantastic, but since it requires me having a entire new boat, that ain't happening!
