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.

not O T at all.

i have done this twice with my 914.
once in 89, where the reported period of being statically stored was 5 years.
the injectors were shot and other fuel lines too.
it leaked fuel everywhere.
back then you could get all the bits easy. injectors etc.
esp in the usa where i was.

and again i did it a second time, for 16 years to myself. dumbo.
sorry that should have been in capital letters. DUMBO.

basically the answer to your question is in my humble opinion no.
its either a virgin part and its never seen fuel and its been sealed in plastic or if its in the car, use the car and use it weekly or fortnightly and keep everything moist and working and not corroding.

i run several different cars down here in upside down land.
including a citroen xm.
the whole car is hydraulic.
the works. suspension. brakes, steering.
there are so many seals i should own an o ring factory.
and i make sure i at least start it weekly, pump it up and i try try try to drive it.

the minute you let them stand it all goes to pieces.

and once fuel has been through it, how do you clean it to remove residues.
which we all know - turns into something else real nasty as well.

i'm rebuilding some fuel pumps at the moment, and i am still thinking about testing them. once i run fuel through them to test i have to work out how to clean them.
because one of them i intend to bag as a spare/
it is an interesting problem?
