Cleaning injectors
 
Hi guys.
Anybody ever used a ultrasonic cleaner to clean the injectors ?

Hi Pastit,

I take it you checked them and they were no good then.

pastit 01-10-17 07:24 PM

Taking them out tomorrow. But just wondering if they are blocked would a ultrasonic cleaner work or shall I just purchase new ones ?

If it were me i would get new one's if they are blocked, check the fuel is clean after the filter too though.

I'm going to replace the filter also.

I used a spray can of carb clean, comes with long and short spray cap pipes, I used the short one and held the fuel injector in my left hand and pushed the short pipe into the inlet end of the injector with my right hand and gave it a squirt, the pressure from the carb clean can was high enough at first to open the injector and let the carb clean through, all 5 of my injectors had 5, 6 or 7 little fingers of fuel coming out of the injector at first but after a couple of squirts
it became a mist, it worked for me and the carb clean was under a fiver.

Sounds a good idea, got to be worth a try before spending a lot, good info Colin !

If the above doesn't yield the results you want I've used Injectortune a few times now and have been pleased with their work :tup:

Sounds like a cheaper alternative to new as well :tup:
