A few months ago I replaced 2 leaky injectors with new from Now one of the remaining originals has stopped delivering fuel. I assume it's clogged. I don't want to buy another one if I can clear this one. Anyone done it at home? redharvey uses a 3 volt transformer and carb cleaner: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&...t&p=1514533
Anyone else?

U.S. = ultrasound. Thanks.

I replaced the others 'cause I thought leak-down meant they were irreparable. This injector won't spray so maybe it can be "cleaned."

I'd prefer not to wait a week by sending it out or buying new. I also don't want to spend $ I don't have to, so I'm interested in trying reharvey's procedure. He doesn't describe what he does it in the post, but I'm guessing you open the injector with a little juice and then spray the heck out of it.

Searching this topic, you come across the issue of internal screens. Can anyone describe how to access those, and where to source them? Sounds unlikely to me.

What's up with having your local "diesel shop" clean the injector, as referenced in related threads? Is there a better term for these 'cause I'm not clear on what they are? Garage, machine shop, other? Should I just look for a building with lots of Macs and Freightliners in the parking lot?

I've cleaned my own injectors for many years using a can of carb cleaner and a dc train transformer set to 3 volts to fire the injector with very good results. It's not something I would recommend to everyone but it works for me.
