I live in San Jose Ca. yes i have someone up front my wife she turns the key
and I'm only able to get 2 cycles out of the injectors before they stop
2 cycles= 2 key turns,NOT FULL KEY TURNS from what i understand is they do that or am i incorrect? I did some troubleshootint on the pressure reg and
it seems to be working but did notice the t-screw kinda looking like a bubble
of air was in it after backing the screw off, maybe because the pressure is
dropping??
