I’m sure someone will probably be a long to tell me that this is completely bonkers. Anyways taking cues from other people on YouTube I didn’t like the squirting carb cleaner into a pipe whilst trying to tap a very small connector so I fixed this up. Using a mountain bike shock pressure pump fitted to a piece of fuel pipe that was filled initially with petrol then with carb cleaner to clean it out. Pressurized it up to about 3 bar and could sit and watch to see whether the fuel escaped or dribbled etc, which it did a bit confirming my suspicions. Then careful tapping of the connectors to see what the spray pattern was like…

I remember I had a strong magnifying glass from my days as an ecologist. Pressurized the pipe with some petrol in it and watched the tip of the injector slowly pulsing a tiny bit of petrol out every half second. This was with no power whatsoever. Just sitting there with pressure. So there we go that’s the next thing to do! Is it a new injector or can this one be rectified?

Take both injectors to a diesel injection shop they will clean and check the pattern and equalize flow for very little, usually.

Great idea, well done. I seem to remember that the injectors can be quickly connected to a 6v source, possibly V11 workshop manual. Might be safer than 12v but still a genius idea
