I had an old electric tool engraver lying around. I hose clamped the tip to nut and another hose clamp, and then I clamped it to a small Tupperware condiment container. I then put an injector in it and added FI cleaner till it just covered the injector.
Put on the top and plugged it in, it works great. I have cleaned a couple of injectors now including one with a seized pintle (sp?) that has now freed up. |

I'll try to get a pic.
The tip is never near the fluid. Here is the simplest method, but it would wreck the engraver so I used clamps: Take a soup can, on the outside bottom edge of the can mig weld (tack) the engraver tip to the can. The whole purpose is to shake (vibrate) the can itself. When the can and engraver (vibrator) are placed on a smooth surface the can now vibrates. So you are solid mounting the engraver tip to the outside of the can. It is the vibrating can that creates the 'waves' in the fluid. If working right the surface of the fluid will be dancing. |
