Damn !

SB,

RiGhT...?

Not only is #7 pretty obvious, but I could swear #4 looks to be a reduced flow. I'm convinced I've found all the validation I need.

Coolant reservoir is in, I just have to go pick it up (Merc wouldn't drop ship it to me. I have to go to the marine shop). Filter/Separator is in. Still waiting on the inline filter. I'd expect the injectors to arrive tomorrow. I'll be pulling the fuel rail out completely in the morning to give it a really close inspection and thorough cleaning. I hope to have the boat in the water this weekend for an eval.

News at eleven.....

Thanks. Brad.

Guys,

I will have to refill the coolant reservoir after it is installed. Is there anything special about the coolant that was in it? (something other than green... orange, maybe...?)

Any video after the service? That spray pattern looks pretty narrow?

Dexcool is the orange stuff.

I didnt pay attention to #4 on very first pass prior to cleaning where we saw #7 stuck as it was just a preliminary test. I ultrasonic cleaned just #7 at first, it came back to normal THEN ran all them again, prior to cleaning, thats when we saw #4 flowing 60 cc on a test that yielded 80 to 85 or the rest. THEN I cleaned them all, changed screens, etc and they flowed quite nicely (within the =/-4% average thats considered acceptable(

I did not video the after test, the pattern onall of them was the same as "good" ones in the initial test, its typical for that kind of injector though, Smitty

You can see re-watching this before cleaning video that 4 was weaker then the rest. I was doing that preliminary test Saturday after I opened the box while my wife was literally waiting in car in front of the shop rolling her eyes for me to leave for a family event, LOL

Again too, I ran these on a continuous inductance test for about 2 hours straight before running my full spectrum of after test to make sure the bad ones didnt act up

Smitty,

Yup. It’s kind of subtle, but #4 is definitely less broad a stream than the rest.

I’m hoping to have to prop back up after this. That wouldn’t break my heart at all.

Thanks. Brad.
