I have a 2009 honda outboard BF200A. For awhile its been having this issue where it would seem like its starving for fuel. For example you run about 15miles to another island then then the boat sit for awhile while your having lunch or fishing. When you go to run again the engine sputters and shuts off. afterward you just prime it up until the bulb gets hard and bam good to go. However now its getting progressively worse having to do this multiple times throughout the day. We have went through everything we could possibly think of in the fuel system to correct this problem. Blew out vacuum line on the vst, changed primary diaphragm pump, ran it off a separate fuel tank, changed the lil fuel vapor solenoid, ran new fuel lines, changed the primer bulb and fuel filters. It still loses prime after running. one more this is it seems to be a Honda problem cause we have 3 of these engines and they all are starting to do it and 2 other guys i know that also have 200hp hondas said they have experienced that issue but its like it goes and comes.
Anyone out there have any ideas or have experience and found a fix for this particular problem or am i missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated
