Hey Volks, After pulling Miles' (86 westy) heads off and finding that that huge miss was a completely fouled spark plug, (oh well, needed to replace the gasket and fuel lines anyway) I found that the #3 injector was different than all the rest. It was swaged on to the fuel hose and its body was green plastic (all the others are yellow (?) and the hose is clamped on). I tested it and it squirted (didn't measure the volume though). I put it back together, bleed the system (twice) and I've still got a bit of a miss and now he's also running a bit warm (completely above the led ) My question is do I need to replace that injector? [Well, DAH!!] Seems obvious but it ran really well for at least the last 8,000 miles or so (Miles has 320,000) That plug was completely fouled with black crumbly gunk (carbon?). Too rich? Think I may also have a bad lifter. Sooo, that said what do yall think Oh Vast and Wizened List? Walter Gomes -Lost Angeles
