Honda BF2.3

[wiggy]

Having baught a workshop maual from e-bay I need to get to the clutch. The broblem is that the bolts holding on the exhaust flange are so coroded that they cruble with a spanner. Any ideas how to remove the bolts or can the clutch be accessed without removing the exhaust flange?

Sorry to ask, but what's the issue with the clutch?

I had one of these, massive Honda fan, but swapped it for a older Honda 4 stroke 2hp as didn't get on with centrifugal clutch and air cooling on the BF 2.3hp, let alone the noise and vibration....!!!

i love the clutch its just that it no longer disengages, ie the prop always turns

on the BF2 you can get it all off without having to remove the exhaust - just wiggle the housing past the exhaust - don't try when it's hot!!

If I want to remove the engine from the leg, to get to the clutch, dont I need to leave the exhaust attached to the leg and take the engine off the top?

no - drain the oil out, remove the fuel tank and turn it upside down - you then remove the leg, then the clutch housing from underneath (now on top)
