In the never ending pursuit of making engines run to their fullest potential we keep getting blindsided by pizz poor, let me rephrase that, absolutely sh!t fuel here so I made a substantial investment in something new.
Let me preface this by saying, I use and highly recommend Schaeffer’s Neutra 131 fuel system cleaner that flat out works better than advertised, problem is, too many boats dont use ten gallons of gas during an entire summer here.
Even with the best additives money can buy, they simply cannot keep up with lack of use, condensation, extreme heat, poor maintenance etc.
This problem is getting worse as I type this, reformulation of fuels so that they meet specific standards, no lubrication in the fuel, engines being forced to run leaner than they should, more and more monitoring so that the engine might reach an engineered design life while doing so efficiently and then toss in the human equation of,,,, I am trying to be polite when I say, some of ya’ll are just trying too hard to be a tight ass!!
??? yep, you choose the cheapest oil and fuel you can buy with your money cause after all, its a motor, oil is oil and gas is gas, and it ran good last time out, see?? it will take it,,,,,,,,,,, and it ends up at a shop like mine and you have the nerve to bitch at me about the repair cost!!??
On the other side of the spectrum, and thankfully, many of you folks strive to take care of everything you own, I tip my hat to you and say you are the customer I enjoy working for!! Salute!!
At the end of the day, your motor sadly like those that dont get maintained still suffer from crap fuel after a time.
Without further ado, here ya go, a machine designed and built right down in Florida USA !!
I talked to the manufacturer of this machine and it is thee first of its kind here in Iowa!! I am the first to own one here!!
An M5000 computerized fuel injection tester and cleaning machine, it will test fuel injectors of about any OHM resistance out there from 1 OHM and up, it pulses the injectors just like it would be on a motor from 1000 RPM’s to 9999 RPM’s and it will read the OHMs anywhere in between those revs.
I can manually test them, auto test them, write up a before and after report that will be included with them when you get them back.
Once they are flow tested, I will clean them in an included ultrasonic cleaner all the while being pulsed while in the cleaning tub, from there they will be flow tested again, if any need an extended cleaning to get them to flow right, that will be done before they are released back to the customer.
If any cannot be brought back to life, we simply supply a new injector.
I will replace the filters in the injectors as well as the O-rings from the inventory included with this machine, that way when you get them back they are ready to install back into the motor, no waiting on seals!!
I maxed out the options list, these options include the rails so that I can clean the air injectors and fuel injectors in the Mercury Optimax motors as well as many other HPDI injectors, and I got the bigger ultrasonic cleaner.
I have to say I will not be testing and cleaning Etec injectors, with no parts support in a few years I didnt want something that I could not make pay for itself.
With this machine I have the ability to test/clean Marine, Auto, ATV, UTV, quad, snowmobile, and many other injectors out there.
I am posting this a couple of days early, I really wanted to show it to you set up and running in our shop but it will not be here until next Monday so this one pic will have to do for now.
I’ll try to post a video of it working in our shop by next weekend.
