Craig, Yep that can be true in some instances that is why there is a warning on the can to keep the motor under 1300 RPM. The one thing that the Tohatsu tuner does not have in it is the chemical that most spray carb cleaners have this is not a carb cleaner - forget that name right now - sorry, It is...

Hi, Tiny tachs are great and work ok, we use them in racing all the time, they have fixed the refresh issue on the newer models. You are best to call there tech support and tell them which motor you have so they can give you the proper number for your motor. They have specific tachs for certain Merc...
