Good afternoon everyone. Just purchased a Robal walk around
with a 2005 Bf225 outboard. Changed the high and low side filters. Drained the VST. When I throttle up, the boat will start to plane and them it acts like it is starved for fuel and sputters and loses RPM so I throttle back for a few seconds and try again. Usually after a couple tlmes of doing this it will run just fine until I am stopped somewhere and try to throttl up again. I will act like this thru out the day of boating. One more thing I noticed is when I remove the engine cover the low end bowel where the filter is located is only about 1/3 of the way full of fuel. Also when I try to pump up the priming bulb it will raise the fuel level in the bulb but never can pump it til it gets solid full of fuel. Dont know if this could be the issue. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Took it to a Honda dealer, they said the batteries where bad and that could be the issue. Replaced the batteries but did not fix the issue.
