Test Preparation

CAUTION: Use Nozzle Socket (J-29873) to remove and replace injection nozzle. Attach socket to 30-mm hex portion of nozzle. Failure to do so will result in damage to injector nozzle.
  1. Remove injector nozzles from engine. Clean carbon from tip area of nozzle with soft brass wire brush. DO NOT use steel brush or motorized brush to clean nozzle tip. Damage to nozzle tip may result.
  2. Connect injector nozzle to injection nozzle tester. Place clear plastic tubing on both fuel return fittings to prevent bleed-off from being confused with leaks. Close tester shutoff valve to pressure gauge.
  3. Fill tester with test fluid. Fill and flush nozzle assembly with test fluid by operating tester lever briskly and repeatedly. This purges air from injector nozzle and coats all parts with test fluid.
