Hello Everyone,
We have recently purchased a 2002 Bayliner with a Honda 135 Outboard. Previous owner states it only has 25hrs on it and since it has been siting for a while did the following: Replaced rotten fuel lines, hoses, clamps. Replaced leaking fuel tank sending unit. New spark plugs, fuel filter, water separator filter raw water impeller, lower gear lube, pressure tested all the seals. Engines idles great, runs fine at low RPM however it starts to struggle around 2.5 to 3k and will not go faster than about 8 knots. We went ahead and replaced all the fuel filters again, replaced a total of 3 filters. Still struggling. Not sure what we should do next. After talking to some folks they suggested to clean the VST and go from there. I am not even sure where to find this unit and how to clean it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
