DISTRIBUTION
1. Fuel Injector Maintenance (Refer to Figures 2 and 3.)
In general, little attention is required between injector overhauls. However, it is recommended that the
following items be checked during periodic inspection of the engine:
A. Check tightness and lock of all nuts and screws which fasten the injector to the engine, torquing all
nuts to 135-150 inch-pounds.
B. Seat the pal type locknuts and finger tighten them against the plain nuts. After this has been done
tighten the locknuts an additional 1/3 to 1/2 turn.
C. Check all fuel lines for tightness and evidence of leakage. A slight fuel stain adjacent to the air
bleed nozzles is not cause for concern.
D. Check throttle and mixture control rod ends and levers for tightness and lock.
E. Remove and clean the injector inlet strainer at the first 25 hours of operation and each 50 hour
inspection thereafter. Check the screen for distortion or openings in the strainer. Replace for either
of these conditions. Clean screen assembly in solvent and dry with compressed air. Damaged
strainer O-rings should be replaced. To install the screen assembly, place the gasket on the screen
assembly and install the assembly in the throttle body and tighten to 35-40 inch-pounds torque.
2. Fuel Nozzles (Air Bleed) (Refer to Figure 1.)
