How to fix leaky fuel injector, Not finding a lot of help on the web Options

[boxster914]

My 71 Irish Green 914 has a leaky fuel injector. I would try to fix it but I am not finding a lot out there on how to fix it.

Here is a video of the leak as I turn the ignition on:

You can see that it leaks out of the rubber boot and then drips onto the tin.

Can anyone help me with how to videos or point to some resources here or somewhere on the web?

You've all been great with my other problems.

for anyone with 1.8s

1.8s run same injectors as 75-76 beetles. identical. also run the same injectors as a bus 75-79 and vanagon 80-83 except the shape of injector feed hoses are different on the bus. change over the hoses. same goes for 77-79 beetles. just in case anyone is ever looking for a set.

provides alternative lines of inquiry when you are looking up injectors for sale.

some literature says 73 only 1.7s ran 1.8 injector even though D-Jet.
maybe california only 1.7s?

bosch part # 0 028 150 112.

you can also use 0 028 150 114 (bus) and 0 028 150 116 (77-79 beetle) and change hoses.

all no longer made by bosch. there are still injectors out there for sale from time to time. make sure still sealed in plastic bags and with caps on. still at reasonable prices for genuine items when you can track them down. went through exercise 12 months ago got a set of un-used bosch from a guy in USA who had a stash for his beetle. work beautifully.

i did try and get my old injectors cleaned and tested. but they just would not work once installed. suspect pintals had corroded and they just stuck up again between cleaning and installation. have a feeling that if i had got them to work - sooner or later they would have leaked as the one being discussed here anyway.

you know when a hose has split. will usually fire a stream of gas up into the air towards the ceiling. makes you think of fire extinguishers.

my cold start injector is still good. just as well. have noticed these seem to be a very expensive item if you can find them. maybe someone here knows a reasonable source/alternative for those. was thinking of trying to get one to have as a spare/backup.
