Re: R100RT won't start, part deux

[Matt Warren <matt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

So I pulled the right injector. It fired a few drops and then gave up any
thought of a stream. I could feel a slight pulse on my thumb, but got no
spray.

The left one did spray, but more like the "before" pic on this pages (used
just as an example, after my searching on the topic)
http://www.theinjectorperfector.net/
Not the "after" pic.

So I have gummed up injectors. What are my options? Are they cleanable by
me? What do replacements cost?

Thanks,
Matt
