Just got off the phone with Don. I had sent him my whole injection setup (worth the couple of extra bucks just to send the whole thing) to have the injectors cleaned and flowed. I have to start out by stating I didnt feel I had any issue at all with the system. It is 16 years old and I just figured it needed to be done while the boat is down for the winter. Well, from what Don has told me, my injectors were in need of attention. I will be posting pictures of the filters when Don sends them back. I am posting this so for those of you who have older engines and have never had this done, get it done. I am sure I wasnt far from blowing the engine apart from poor fuel delivery. This is cheap insurance and it is easy to remove and send off. GET IT DONE! It will be March or so before I fire up the engine, but I am sure there will be a big difference in the way it runs verses last fall.

All the black you see on this coffee filter came out of the INJECTORS.

As received, these injectors had a variance ranging from 12.87% at idle... to 8.57% at WOT. For these injectors... we prefer to see no variance in excess of 2%.

FOUR injectors were found to be flooding.

After cleaning, and recalibration of FOUR injectors... all are again happy, and well within tolerance. </td></tr></table>



Thanks Don
