There is more to servicing Fuel Injectors than just cleaning them.
Verify same amount of flow.
Verify same amount of current to actuate flow.
Clean the orifice and housing.
If they  or one don't produce the same flow or trigger on que they need to
be replaced.
The professional cleaning and testing procedure is normally about 20$ per
injector.

I have read somewhere that fuel injectors can be ultrasonically cleaned.
Does anyone know the process for doing this? I use ultrasonic cleaners
everyday in my business. I currently have two friends rebuilding their 84
Westys and I'll probably be doing mine sooner or later. I thought if I can
learn to do this I might be able to offer this service to the list someday.
Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
