Outboard - HONDA 2.3

This starts well yet it doesn't seem to like being left in a cupboard since Nov 2013.

As the revs build there is no drive to the prop at all.

Is this 'seizure' an easy thing to look at ?

thanks

Off the top of my head I would investigate the centifugal clutch.
Basically a pair of tiny brake shoes flung outwards against a drum.
Have they seized ?

remove prop and check shear pin.

Hi jakeroyd, quite possibly. Are they easy to find and fix?

There doesn't appear to be a Youtube on it and have only just this hour found out there's a problem,

thanks

A different 2.3 problem...

Sometime last summer my 2.3 started making a sort of scraping, dry sound when in gear and I suspected the clutch. I stopped using it but have only now had chance to take the thing apart. The prop was seized by now.

What a bloody faff it is to get to the clutch! You have to work your way through most of the outboard...

Anyway the clutch pads and centrifugal spring are fine, the problem is the clutch drum - that is connected to the drive shaft - has seized, I think the bearing is probably the culprit. I need now to try and get hold of a new drum and housing (I can't separate the two). Any ideas where might sell them?

I think I may just take a trip to the outboard shop and let them fix it!
