Re: How fast to your valve cover?

On the honda sh 150 all you have to do is take two Philips screws out to get the plastic cover off and then your looking at the valve cover less then two minutes.

Re: Fuel Pump recall replacemeent...caution

SteveP - do you have another dealer near you? Doesn't sound like the one you are with are that good. There is another one, but this is the one I bought the Forza from. If they don't fix it this time I'll do it myself. I've got the service manual and it doesn't look like to bad a job to get to the p...

Re: Honda forza 300 fuel pump recall leaks gas after recall

I think most techs are just installing pump and o ring dry and once on its hard to see if the o ring is in proper position due to the dust seal ,hiding the o ring under it , I will find out soon as I get my parts I'm waiting for a new o ring and dust seal from the dealer that did my fuel pump recall...
