Another nice tutorial, Nick.

Thanks Mike!

Start the injector line before you tighten the clamp alignment is much easier. Also loosen injector line nut slightly after tightening to release twisting tension, ( çan cause cracks later )

[@fixer2u]

That makes sense. Thank you for the advice!

1/3 of a turn? I was always told two flats turned was about .020 and easier to accurately perform IMHO. Best practice for for an old worn engine for sure. Thank You

[@fixer2u]

You could be correct, I was just going by the manual. Been running well for a year now! But may revisit soon!

Did u try a sea foam type product first to see if that helped and how did u prime the injectors after cutting off the fuel supply, thanks for ur advice and always enjoy ur videos, very helpful for my own R tractor.

[@fixer2u]

I did not try seafoam, but that is not a bad idea! I just changed the oil though so not really looking forward to doing it again! To prime, you go to the fuel filters and there are priming plugs above each plus on in between. You take out the left plug until you get a steady stream of fuel. Then do the right plug, then do the center. At that point you should be primed. Have a full tank of fuel in there also as the extra head pressure helps.

I believe Bendix supplied injectors for the R at one time.

Oh really, interesting. Thanks for the reply! I will have to look into that!
