I read about cleaning injectors and it
does not look like an easy task for a DIYer, not extremely hard but lots of
little parts, etc (any opinions from others, please state your level of
experience). Mach Boring charges $45 plus cost of new parts needed and new ones
are around $115 I believe. I have been wrestling with the idea of pulling them
and sending them in, but that would put me out of commission for at least a
week. Weekends are very valuable! I get the same black smoke or exhaust when
I push it to 2800 RPMs. I have a three bladed prop and it is not very powerful
in reverse and as I stated above smokey at 2800 and 2800 is the highest it will
go also. Maybe we should get the richest guy out there to buy a new set and
then we can start a round robin having the float set being rebuilt. I can live
with it until the fall since I only use the engine to get in and out of the
marine. I am generally not in a hurry to get anywhere quickly!

I think they need to be removed but I’d get the advice
of someone who knows more than I do before I did that.

Thanks
again Al,
Bottom clean and prop has not changed, I will try to clean the injectors. Can
the injectors be cleaned with an additive or do I need to pop them out?

Dirty
bottom; wrong pitch on prop. Black smoke is fuel. So it could also mean the
injectors need cleaning.

Thanks for
your quick reply
I did use Algae-x which is a bio stablizer.
What would overload the engine ?

Do you use StaBil and BioBor? One is a fuel stabilizer
and the other a bug killer. I used those and when my former F30 was shipped to Thailand, it
started right up after not being used for five months.
Black smoke is generally a sign of an overloaded engine.

Fuel Tretment/Black Smoke
Has
anyone had fuel problems?
Same time last season and now, I am having loss of power when in gear and black
smoke.
I purchased a algae-x fuel polisher and additive last season but ended up
pumping all the fuel out and cleaning the tank thru the 3 access ports.
All was fine after that.
But now the problem is back.
Any suggestions?
I did add algae-x fuel treatment at the end of last season and do keep my tank
topped off.
