Wow...never heard that stuff!

I had my Yamaha engine for about three years, and put 150 hours or so on it. So I suppose it's possible that I simply didn't use it enough to have problems with the thing?

From what I have heard, the Mercury SmartCraft gauges seem to all offer fuel flow capabilities, but I haven't heard of any issues with those. I have run my Verado about 80 hours now, not really using it last year due to medical problems. But I will do a little research about this, and post again if I can add new information. I wonder--were the fellows that had problems with the FF gauges running 2-strokes, or 2 & 4-stroke engines? I don't know much about the direct-injection 2-stroke engines, but pretty much all newer 4-stroke engines (car, aircraft, boat) seem to be offered for use with FF gauges. You'd think you would hear about these kinds of problems if there were really that many? Are the 2-stroke direct-injection engines much more sensitive to FF than the 4-strokes are?

But thanks for posting these details--I will ask around a bit.
