ok guys The Donny meet is tomorrow , I've hust scorced a ticket and the 19's being a little girl on me!
Just drove it 50 miles to pick up a head and as I was getting there she started to splutter all over the place. It done it all the way back here too and cut out at every stop.
leads are good as are the pluggs and dizzy and all water has been removed from the plugg holes, (it's been a very wet day) but still spluttering and not geting much mpg. TBH it feels like I'm running on 3 cylinders!
I've got to make it doon there guys  , help  |

fine TBH mate, I've still got the IK on it and thats onlt a few months old.
I've had the rocket off and cleaned up the plugs, made sure mo excess water was in there and changed the injectors for the new ones I got with the head and it's made a big differance! Don't know how long it's going to last but I'll be trying to make my way doon tomorow. If it starts playing up then I may just have to sack it but I'm hopefull  . |

is it easy to change the injectors ?
may be you could just use shit loads of redex or some sort of fuel cleaner instead of changing them? |

Injectors just plug in, simple job realy.
tried that redex before mate, it didn't work, still.
I don't know exactly what the problem is/was but doing all of that made an improvement anyhow.
although it still misses under hard load? |

injectors are not a simple job, in theory yes it is, in practice its not.
bet the o-rings are bust.
Spray a load of water/wd-40 around the injector bases and you'll see. |

Changing the o-rings is a real patience testing job aswell.
Three out of four of my nozzles shattered while trying to prise them off to get to the o-ring.  |

yes pintle caps.
roll them off then stick them in a cup of boiling water, thats softens them up and gets them back to shape ready for fitting. |
