[Public-List] Suggestions for pulling out injectors?

[Eric Chavigny via Public-List]

Hi, 

When we bought Dimanche Matin #541, the engine was not working properly and I found that one of the injector was not spraying properly.  I removed the injector and send them to a injector specialist here in Montreal.  

It was found that parts within the injectors had been mixed up during maintenance by previous owner.  The shop was able to put them back properly after trying all the possible variation $$$$

Now everything works fine.  My advise is make sure that you separte every parts for each injector and reassemble them exactly the same way they were. These parts are machined to fit together for each injector. if you decide to venture in this area.  Otherwise a good diesel shop can verify the injector for you.

Hope that help
