Hello all. I am new to posting on this forum so be gentle. I recently purchased a boat that has twin Honda BF130s and now I need all of your expertise wisdom to solve some issues. I believe they are either 99 or 2000 models and are NOT in physically rough shape and dont appear to have been abused. Description of problem: Port side engine will not stay running longer than about 1-2 seconds. ( on occasion i can get it to run for maybe 10 but no pattern to go from). I have discovered that with the breather box off I can physically spray fuel into the intake and keep it running smooth as silk as long as i'm spraying fuel. I have read several forums about the VST and the HP fuel pump failing as well as other issues. I did disconnect the HP fuel line and when I turn the key to run but not start the fuel does seem to come out of the line for about 2 seconds. Its not what I would call high pressure but its somewhat pouring out. I have messed with the throttle in neutral and tried to start with manipulation of the throttle, it will spit and sputter terribly at 3/4 throttle and if I was guessing it seems like its missing similar to a vehicle, however when I bring the throttle back its smooths out briefly for about 4 seconds before dying. I really think its a fuel related issue. Please help fellas.
Now, the starboard side engine. I have been unsuccessful in even starting this one yet. The starter seems like its spinning the engine much to slow to even have a chance to start. Its just like if your car battery was almost dead (similar sounds). I have a charger on the batteries and have even tried a jump box but nothing ever seems to change it. The batteries are not in bad shape and are relatively new. (2 bats for each engine, total of 4.) I believe the electrical systems are independent for each motor. I am just looking for guidance before I start moving heavy batteries around for test.
Thanks!
