I'm rooting for Nissan on this one, I was looking pretty hard at the pro-4x when I was shopping earlier this year. It won't compete in the niche markets where the Ridgeline and Gladiator live, but should be a great all-around midsize.

Appreciate the input. You are right, it is an older (2002) Mercury XR6. The oil pump is supposed to inject 100:1 at idle and 50:1 at WOT, but after seeing how the system is set up I've got some questions about that. I'm pretty confident that it's running lean because when I hear it start...

I'm hoping it will clear up a little more as I run it, I wouldn't mind having something in the tank that assists with that though (rec90 is ethanol-free). The oil injection on this boat still works, so it will get 50-100:1 oil added no matter what.

I'm just trying to be careful that I don't add anything that is going to affect the lubricity of the fuel/oil mixture and cause more harm than good. Not sure if it's possible to have a good solvent that can remove varnish/deposits without affecting that though. I'm not sure how the idle circuits...

I appreciate the link, but that seems to be a carbon cleaning product, which isn't really what I'm after. I'm looking for a fuel system cleaner that might clear up the idle circuits a bit.

I'm looking for an additive for a new to me 2 stroke Mercury 150 (carbureted) that didn't get much use over the last few years and seems to run a little lean at idle. Do I just want a high PEA additive for this situation or are there some other considerations at play? I drained most of the fuel...
