Here's what can/will happen if injs are left in the open air, left in the rails w/ $hitty fuel in them, run w/ a dirty tank, bought used and not cleaned prior to use...Yadda, yadda...
These are out of a turbo Supra. [550CC/RC injs] They were responsible for 1 engine failure, and a $hitty performing replacement engine. Bought used, and not cleaned/tested.
The first 2 fotos are as I received them. [3&4 are after the baskets were removed, but B4 cleaning.] I pulled the filter baskets out, and WALA!! All 6 performed flawlessly. Cleaned them,[saw no performance improvement], and replaced the wear items. Good to go!
FWIW, this is the second set of RC injs that I've seen do this. Baskets plugged, but looked to be holding a minimal amt of dirt..Hmmnn. First set was a set of 750CC.
SCARY!!
