Quickly cleaning injectors?

Re: Quickly cleaning injectors? (Clownracer v2)

I heard bertelman's fuel injection cleaner is the shizz for manually cleaning you injectors. Can't get locally in Jersey though. You can try gum out injecter cleaner When the injector is off of the line use the small red straw that comes with the cleaner insert it tightly on the hose side of the injector and spray until the injector open. keep spraying until you get a fine spray pattern. After that spray wd-40 in there to lubricate the nozzle and then do the cleaner again. I did have trouble getting enough pressure from the gum out can, so maybe you should try another cleaner come to think about it. The wd-40 had enough pressure.

Carb cleaner. Stick the straw in the inlet side and spray until the blockage comes free.

I would try and see if there is a shop around locally that will do it for you professionally and also they can check the flow rates and make sure they are equall.

Not enough pressure when I tried the carb cleaner
So I just filled up the inside of the injector with carb cleaner and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Seemed to do the trick (I used to have a leaky injector and it would start up lumpy sometimes)
