Wow, lots of questions... I'll try to answer what i can. 1) Dr. Injector (seem to be a chain... this was out of a guy's house in Lynnwood, WA). He had the whole test station, though, so i can't imagine it is much different than 95% of the other injector cleaning people out there. 2) "good" is as good as it gets for injector spray patterns, apparently. 3) I presume the 95mL at his test conditions, seeing as how 8 out of 8 yielded that after cleaning. Bently has official specs on this. 4) I don't know if there is a "viable home remedy". I've heard of people making their own ultrasonic cleaners with very simple devices, and i am sure a bottle of cleaner can't hurt, but i don't know much of anything about this one. I'll probably just throw in a new bottle of cleaner every oil change, or something like that, to try and keep these ones un-gummed. -Damon --- Robert Fisher <refisher@MCHSI.COM> wrote: > So, who did you send them to? > What do they charge? > Is there a better pattern than 'good'? > What is the optimum/top flow rate (or what would you > get from a new one)? > Is there a viable home remedy for this, as opposed > to sending them away to > be serviced? > How would this be worked into regular maintenance; > in other words, is this > the kind of thing where you would have four extra on > hand so that after x > miles you would swap in your four good spares, send > the others off for > cleaning, and swap those'uns back in when x miles > rolls around again? > (Assuming you couldn't readily do it at home.) > > Inquiring minds wanna know...
