Hi Paul,

    I found this write up on electronic fuel injectors by RC

engineering and

they cover some things I had never heard of about injectors and some of
their failure modes.  Nothing to put on your web site, but thought you

may

be interested as they give some relative ranking on different

manufactures

of injectors.

A piece of well taken advice on those electronic injectors-before you
install them, if they have been sitting around for over ONE week from

date

of overhaul/cleaning, check out their ability to click open (with a

wiring

harness and 12V battery to the two terminals). If they don't click, you

get

NO gas. The solvent the cleaning places use sticks after a short time!
(Don't ask why they don't rinse them with something after, you get
something like "that never happens" from them).
Here is how you get them to work-SLAM them down on a thick board repeated
times till they click!
I know this to be a fact as I have rebuilt three 13Brew engines and this
happened to me every time. Out of 12 injectors only 1 didn't stick. Now I
test and slam them all first before I install them.
I used Marren Motor Sports to rebuild and clean them, but I know other
shops use the same solvents and procedures.

Marc,
I've heard this a few times now and it's not just cleaned injectors,
apparantly new ones do the same thing.

I can see why some engines don't start after they have been sitting around
for awhile.
