    Default Injector cleaning

    Has anyone had done, or know anywhere that can clean fuel injectors?

    I think your local Lucas Service Centre can arrange that for you.

    hello Kevin,

    Do you want to flush out the injector? i have used aerosol carb cleaner to clean out the residue, works well on carbs as well!

    Alternatively you could put injector cleaner in the petrol tank, such as redex, wynns or stp, there are loads to choose from.

    I would be interested in the symptoms for future reference.

    Regards

    Tom

    I was really looking for removing them, and having them cleaned, and new filters put in. Then they get their spray patterns checked and a report produced.

    I was thinking of these people http://www.injectorcleaning.co.uk/ but when I asked them (a couple of years ago I admit) their machines did not fit Honda injectors.

    Kevin,

    Perhaps you could try KMI (Ken Mills).

    His business is rebuilding Lucas fuel injection systems for TR 5+6's. I can vouch for the quality as i had his system on my race car. His injectors are the best in the Triumph world so he might be able to assist.

    He is on 020 7385 7138 and is based in Fulham. Let me know how you get on.


    Bye the way what is wrong with you injectors? or is this just preventative?

    Regards

    Tom.

    Nothing really wrong with the injectors. Just figured that on a 13 year old car, that only gets used a few times a year, they might be a little gummed up by now.

    I have seen reports when injectors have been cleaned on NSXs in the States, and the flow rate on some of the injectors can be bad (for the reasons above).

    I have written to the link I found, they use the ASNU machine. They said they still can't do the injectors for the NSX.
