aint heard from him for ages!

i'll dig some injectors out johnny. know i have some, just gotta find em and box em an post em.
send us a text tommoz as a reminder, i'll be in the workshop best part of day.
oh, and pm or text us an address!

There are some videos of people cleaning there own...

Injector cleaning

might be worth a try if you can figure out a way of doing it to a mechanical injector

ok, so after much scrattin about, and digging out the tester, an attempt was made to try an identify some usable injectors.......



















A,B,C,D, are boxed up ready to post if you want.
hopefully the pictures capture the pressure info, but cant guarantee
how they'll perform!

neil yer a fekkin diamond just name yer price mate


ive been friggin about with the bugger these last couple of days and borrowed a brand new set of injectors and it turned the thick black smoke to tonnes of white when yer put the pedal to the floor

ive spent the biggest half of yesterday trying to tweak the pump to cure this but it seems to have no effect the best ive had it was hardly any smoke when idling then soon as i rev the fekker it looks like stars in their eyes ( and tonight mathew im going to be !!!!!!)

ive seen some injector pump overhaul kits with all the gaskets bushes washers circlips ETC and i was thinkin of stripping my pump but ive been told it will need re-calibrating but surely if theres no way of adjusting the actual pump flow and pressure a full refurb will just put it right anyway wouldnt it

Good man! Well done for doing the work to work out some good uns!

How does that kit work?

Particularly like the oily finger tip, I've never managed to keep the rest of my hand clean when working on motors!

How do you test injectors properly?

Testing Diesel Fuel Injectors - YouTube

with a proper tester ,you pump them up to just before opening pressure (135 bar)and see if they leak (dribble)or pressure drops ,then check spray pattern
