I got a tire valve stem and carved the rubber till it fit into the rubber hose of the injector. I then filled the injector hose with FI cleaner. Inserted the valve stem and clamped it.My bomb was now ready. I used an old FI electrical connector for the fuel injector to insure a good spark free electrical connecton(This is a lie-I had gas all over me). I hooked up the 12V and then pumped the bicycle pump. You could see the spray pattern get better and better in one stroke of the pump. 1 infusion of cleaner was all it took, but 3 gave it insurance. Besides cleaning the injector,I can say that pure concentrated fuel injector cleaner needs more than an erant spark to ignite it.The place was a mess with spilled cleaner.Be careful.I had a running garden hose right next to me when I did this. Thanks Roger ! I took your advice and changed the injectors with some I got with a 1.9 motor I picked up on craigs list a couple weeks ago and it works!!! Now I will use your technique and try and clean the dirty ones. P. S. I didn't get the "read" reference Jeff E.
