I took my bennington 21 footer out on the lake on Saturday. The Honda
started harder than usual, but I got it going after 7 or 8 tries. The
engine ran smooth, took it about 1/4 miles at 3000 rpm and the engine
suddenly died. Almost like someone turned it off.

I tried to turn it on, nothing worked. I was towed back to my dock, and
poked around. The engine is a 2000 year model with only 134 hours on it.
I
bought it with 97 hours and was told the fuels filter was changed.

Can someone tell me what this may be? The marina mechanics will look at
it, but they specialize in Evenrudes and Johnsons. As a matter of fact,
one mechanic even said that no one wants to do Hondas because they never
need any work - well mine does!


Can someone offer some suggestions? If the mechanics can't fix this, I
am
on my own.

Thanks!



BTW Here is how I got towed back this weekend.

Get rid of the Honda (there are plenty of dummies out there who love
them) and buy an E-tec. :)

Tom, the engine has only 134 hours on it... thats like getting rid of a new
car... i got to get that sucker working...

Good - then you will get good money for it. :)

Seriously, I was only kidding.

Ok, maybe only half kidding. :)

Later,
