Fuel Injector Issues..., ...your opinions please? Options

[kfieler]

After resolving fuel delivery / pump issues on a 1973 914 1.7 that has not been started for over ten years...

As soon as the EFI system built-up pressure, two of the fuel injectors started shooting fuel all over the engine bay. My assumption is that the injectors are leaking from the hoses between the fuel rail and injector body (the hoses look cracked and in pretty poor shape).

I do not know if the injectors themselves are good, but it seems like a shame to throw them in the trash just because the built-in fuel hoses are bad!

Since I don't yet know the condition of the engine, I am looking for a cost-effective method for getting it started for the first time.

Questions:

1. Can I salvage these injectors myself? Can an OEM hose be somehow cut-off of an injector and a new hose attached with a clamp?

2. A local auto parts store sells GP-Sorensen fuel injectors for $69.00 each; however, I've read some negative reviews of this brand. Anyone have any experience with GP-Sorensen brand injectors in a 914?

3. I realize that remanufactured Bosch injectors are available. Does anyone have any experience with using rebuilt injectors?

And, lastly, if this were your car, what would you do?

Any advise you can share with a "newbie" is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
