    To even up the variation i buss the injectors two to three times in the ultrasonic bath. And normally that closes the differences.

    Is the wiring harness that is provided a universal fit or do you need different fuel injectors wire hardness connectors for various vehicles?
    Can you back flush the injectors, how do you do that?

    • @OTRAMM
      @OTRAMM  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      It came with the harness. I've only used it on Toyota injectors. It's fit all of them so far. It doesn't have any way to back flush.

      @@OTRAMM Thank you for the fast reply. Does the wiring harness have a quick disconnect so that it can be interchanged
      to other wiring harness for other vehicles. I have three different vehicles here two of them have electrical connectors
      where the older vehicle has a CIS mechanical fuel injectors no electrical connections. Would your machine be able to clean
      those too?

      How/why did you choose these fluids? I’ve heard many recommendations for 75% or greater isopropyl alcohol as a test fluid

    • @OTRAMM
      @OTRAMM  ปีที่แล้ว

      I was more after cleaning than a test fluid that would mimic gas. I liked the oily residue of marvel mystery oil to keep things from corroding before install. It was too viscous for the tester on its own so I cut it with techron. Nothing scientific, just what was readily available in the parts room.

      OTRAMM I seen on another comment about what you use, how much of the simple green aircraft extreme to water do you use and same about what you use for flow testing. Or are you using different solutions now? Thank you

    • @OTRAMM
      @OTRAMM  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's been forever since I've used it. The aircraft extreme I use straight and top off a bit with water as I spill stuff. The flow tester I use a big bottle of mystery oil but with a bottle of 44k or other injector cleaner. The mystery oil is too thick on it's own to get a good spray pattern. They make actual test fluid for them but I don't use the machine often enough to bother.

      We use simple green aircraft extreme in the ultrasonic portion. I use techron injector cleaner in the flow tester. We don't use it enough to buy the real calibrated fluid. You have to be careful of fire using the techron though. I've been happy with it. The pump died after about two years but it's just a generic high pressure fuel pump so an easy fix.
