Neil,

Should those two valves have an o ring around the top of them?. There is a groove around them near the top that looks like it should have an o ring. If they are supposed to, mine never had them! I assume the valves must have an o ring farther down because they act like they are stuck. I can move them from side ti side but not up and out.

Leo,

 

The two valves come out with a tap against a block of wood or

with a pair of long nosed pliers, make sure you remember which

is which as they are different. The low pressure and high pressure

are different  but they both fit in either bore. The gauze filter fits

with the hole down onto the valve block from memory.

 

Yes you do need to remove both valves to do the job properly,

i had the high pressure stick up during the last summer.

 

When all valves and seals are removed spray some carb cleaner into

all areas then blow it through with the air.

 

A good tip for when you take anything apart especially carbs or injection

components is to first start with a clean bench, then lay some paper

towelling on the bench, put your carb or whatever on the paper and either

draw round it or draw the most significant features on the paper that will

guarantee that you will always be able to remember which way you had the

part when you started, from this you can lay any valves / components on

whichever side of the paper they are appropriate to in sequence of removal.

 

Hope that make sense.

List,

I took my high and low fuel flow control valve and injector rails off today to clean them. Took the valve apart and wonder how the two plunger like things in the bottom come out? Or don't I have to remove them to clean it and blow air thru everything? Also, I forgot which way the filter thing in the center goes back in - the open end down or up? HELP.
