I have a 2000 BF130 on a 24 foot down east style boat. I'm new to Honda outboards, this motor sat unused for probably 8 years before I got it.
I replaced the fuel filters, plugs, oil, etc. and motor runs well in most cases. On random occasions if running at low speeds motor will start to stumble and eventually die. I can then restart motor and all is fine. Then sometimes when running at higher speeds 3500-4000 rpms motor will start missing and barely can keep at 2000 rpms. Can turn off motor and restart and all is fine again. My feeling this is ignition related and not fuel related. I've pulled plugs and they are clean not black at all. Thanks and advise appreciated.
