DIY Injector cleaning

Lo Guys

My little rocket's injectors needs a cleaning, but to send it to a garage will cost me something like 75 pounds. (Few issues in SA regarding garage prices)

Now I do have access to a Ultrasonic bath, can use it as much as I wish.

Was just wondering what the process requires. What kind of solution can I use in the bath? Is it a must to remove all the rings and filters? Etc etc...

Please inform me of my options... Any help will be appreaciated A LOT.

Tnx

Tri.

just had mine done, wire up a relay and loom to open and close the injectors. remove the filters and rings and put them in solution of petrol and injector cleaner. leave them to bubble away in the bath, opening and closing, for a while (30 mins? an hour?)
its also a good idea to rig up a rail and test the flow patterns and cc/min too.
put new filters and rings on and put back in engine. :)

Hi,

Haven't really done it myself yet, will be a first for me, but it seems to be just removing the bolts holding the rail, and lifting it from the injectors.
