Fuel filters have been replaced religiously....could be dirty fuel I
guess....but it's a problem that has been gradually worsening over time. I
rarely have the need to exceed 2200RPM so it's not been a problem I've been
anxious to address. I probably try removing and inspecting/cleaning them.

Have you replaced fuel filters lately? They can get clogged up and reduce
rpms. Also, if fuel is old it can result in increased sooty emission. Or
it may be as you suggest, bad injectors. There is probably a product you
can run through the system to try to clean them out. I'd try all of the
above before replacing injectors.

My M-18 may be in need of new injectors. Can't get more than 2200 RPM and
the transom gets very sooty. Has anyone replaced (or possibly cleaned)
theirs and if so, are there any gotcha's with the removal/replacement?
The cost is outrageous (nearly $300 each) so I'm obviously reluctant to
make that purchase.
