Rough Idle...

Hi, I just think that conventional wisdom about fuel injection is going to have to be retired. Mechanics always say it's never the injectors. Well, sure five years ago. Now with sludge thinning ethanol dredging up all sorts of stuff it's different. Thank God for 25 dollar rebuilt injectors over the internet! Instead of blaming idle controls etc. I say go right for the moving parts! It's cheap peace of mind. Anybody with a boat knows what I'm talking about
