Is it a standard or Pro model? Forgive if this is a silly suggestion. But since you've cleaned the injector port, have you also cleaned the riser column on the collection cup itself? If it gets too gunked up, it can also slow things down. Are you skimming "wet" or "dry"? Maybe try lowering the collection cup a bit and see if that makes any difference. Good luck.

Clean the filter sponge too, I had mine get really dirty and it eventually stopped the flow.

Try taking your pump out, taking it apart and thoroughly cleaning it. Run it by itself and make sure you're getting good flow through the pump.

The other thing is to make sure the skimmer is truly level.

Good luck!

What model Remora is this - Standard or Pro? And What pump are you using? I have a Remora w/MJ1200 that does fine. I also have a Pro that I bumped up from a Mag3 to a Mag5. As TCC mentioned, a clean pump can make a difference too.
