hello. i have a 2008 merc. 115 XL EFI S# 1B694253. with an occasional miss. i changed plugs and low end fuel filter. no help.miss started off and on about 1 yr. ago and now getting worse.still is not a steady miss.talked to shop and they said it was probably injectors. but is it possable it could be electrical? thats what it feels like to me. just a guess though. it does not seem to affect my top speed of 39mph/6300rpm/gps reading with a 13x15 4 blade prop.which i went to after reading the info. on your forums. thanks again.fuel has seafoam.

Fuel injectors should be cleaned every couple of years depending on usage...Send them to Brucato...great people...great service and you will get a report back showing you performance before and then after cleaning...I sned my 2005 injectors out and made a huge difference for idle.. one was running rich and one was running lean(not good)....
