Hey gang,
New poster here. A friend of mine sent me a link to this site as it sounds like there are some very knowledgable posters in the honda section. I have been searching for an answer in regards to my 2003 honda bf225 and have only been able to come to one conclusive answer. 2003 was not a good year for the BF225. There a ton of people seeking answers for their problematic 2003's. Anyways, hopefully you all will be able to help pin point my problem. I have a thread posted at thehulltruth with limited success, have searched the net tirelessly for an answer and have even tried to use the marine section at justanswer.com and offered up $78 if one of their experts could help me pinpoint my problem. So far I have no luck. If there is anyone on here that can help me I would be more than willing to make it worth your while. If money is not your thing, I would be more than willing to send you some fresh halibut or copper river salmon as a thank you.
Here is my thread on thehulltruth.com http://www.thehulltruth.com/boating-forum/281117-need-help-my-honda-bf225.html and here is what I posted at justanswer.com
I live in a rural area in Alaska and need some help with my 2003 Honda Bf225. The motor has about 225 hours on it. I have owned the boat and motor for about two years now and have been fighting this since the end of last summer. The problem first occured while drift fishing in following seas as the motor got splashed pretty good. The motor idles very rough and just bogs down very badly when you put it in gear. If you switch gears to fast it will die. For a while it was intermenent but is now full time. To this point I have changed or done the following....
*New high Pressure Filter
*New low pressure filter
*New high pressure fuel pump filter
*New high pressure fuel pump
*New gas line to the motor
*ran engine on portable fuel tank for 20 min with fresh gas
*squeezing the bulb does nothing while under way
*took apart VST system and did visual check, needle and float looked clean.
*sprayed out IAC valve with MAF cleaner
*No alarms
*Would a bad o2 sensor present these symptoms?
Optional Information:
Make (of engine): Honda
Model (of engine): BF225
Year: 2003
Horsepower: Honda BF225
