Cleaning Injectors -- The HMT Way! (pics/video)
Recently my oil has been wreaking of gas. I've decided it's either my rings or leaky injectors. The latter is easier to rule out so I thought I'd try and clean my injectors. Sure, I could send 'em off to R/C or whoever and pay for a professional cleaning, but this is HMT damnit!
Hmm...how do I force cleaner through an injector at high pressure? I don't have a compressor, but look over there, an air pump!
Hook a hose up to the needle end:
Rig up the injector, via resistor, to 12V (I used 10V):
Attach other end of hose to injector and commence the force feeding:
There was some residual gas in a couple of the injectors, and let me tell ya...if you sniff atomized gas, it'll give you a nice high!

Back flowing them (feeding cleaner through nozzle) wasn't as exciting, so I didn't capture it. Time to go fire her up....

Nice job though, that is a good way to do it!

I'll give me oil a good changin' and we'll see what it smells like after 100 miles.
