Injector, injector, my kingdom for an injector

[Chris Percival]

Well I replaced my suspect injector with another second hand one, and that one leaks between the yellow plastic bit and the black metal bit!! Anybody know anything about these things? Can you buy them new?

Chris - it might be worth trying Just Kampers, Jane Terry, Jim Bourne or even Bosch.

Hello

The injector is gone I would look why.

Injectors are still aviable also many people swaped from FI to carb so used items are around.

You also need the rubber rings and it is wisefull to replace all the short fuellines. They are allways bend and have vibes to withstand.

These should still be available. I bought a set about 2 years ago. I should clarify that I bought then on the other side of the pond.

Years ago, my Dad had a 412LE which developed the same problem. Here's how we fixed it.....

Remove the injector. THOROUGHLY clean the yellow plastic and black metal areas with meths, alcohol etc. Then use a sharp point to rough the surfaces in a series of X's. Clean it again. Now apply several thin layers of a good quality, hard-setting epoxy resin, (such as Araldite). Allow enough time for the adhesive to set fully between coats, and you should find you have a petrol-tight seal for very little cost.

At the same time, cut off the metal sleeve that holds the short length of hose on to the injector, and replace the hose with a new piece, clamping it to the spigot with a suitable hose clamp.

Check the injector every so often for leakage, (although the one we fixed never had any problems).

Good luck.

I have about 14 brand new injectors for the d-jetronic. Got them for about 35 each. Send me your address.
