Got this sweet late 80s Honda BF8A for free, currently torn down to the cylinder head with all parts included.

Owner got it in a trade, said it smoked while running, he tore it apart and never got to tinkering with it.

This isn’t my first outboard I’ve torn apart but my first 4 stroke, I’ve been lead to believe it’s likely a piston ring leaking but was curious if you guys have any input and possibly where I could go about finding a parts list to purchase parts for this outboard. Thanks!

Just got this 2005 Arctic Cat 250 running good and noticed I have a decent leak in the rear brake hose. It mists quite a bit every time I pull the brake lever.

I’m not too well versed in brake lines on atv’s. Can I get a decent aftermarket hose or should I go oem? Would any ordinary “rear brake hose” work or is it manufacturer specific? Any help would be much appreciated!

Got this genuine Keihin carb for my Arctic Cat 250 for cheap-er on eBay, real gummed up but functions perfectly apart from this one issue, previous owner had a garbage Amazon special carb on it and it ran like shit.

Ordered a Shindy rebuild kit and I have the other original plunger still mounted on the quad. Just need to get this damn thing out and will take any suggestions. Thanks!!
