Well, to back up what Ken said, a few years ago after running my '84 Westy w/2.1 motor very low on fuel and clogging the fuel filter, it never seemed to have the same power. What had been a fairly quick Westy was now as slow as an old Bay window Westy. I pulled the fuel injectors and sent them off to Witchhunter and when I got them back (with the graph) it was like I had another 30hp, it was back to it prior performance level. Made me a believer in getting them cleaned! Jeff

Not suggesting that the folks don't do a good job, but years ago we used to
have occasion to send several radiators to be rodded over the course of a
couple years. Every time we picked one up, we asked the guy how bad they
were, and every time the answer was, "Oh, about 75% blockage". Kinda makes
you wonder.

I haven't
had a chance to use the injectors yet but they do come with a nice graph
showing before and after flows. One was completely plugged!
