I think I cracked a tip or body on the way home this evening. No cel and not down on power but I am carring lower oil pressure than normal ( manual oil pressure gauge). no leaks but I checked the oil and it seems a little higher than normal but this was checked hot. egt's the same at cruising and the rp is still 17.5 to 18k at cruising. I have noticed a little more white smoke and sputter on starting in the am but I figured this was due to it being cold and lower compression. what is the charge to test my flux 3.5 and repair them and possible upgrade to 4.5??? thanks Robert

Testing would not be a problem. Pressure related failures in the form of cracks are not under warranty. So there would be a charge for the repair if that is the case. If the crack is bad, the level will raise within a few miles.

As for the upgrade, I thought you had already had that line up?

Rpainter

I have 3.5 now but was talking to him about going to 4.5 but that depends on the cost to repair my bodies. just drained the oil and it is a bad injector what is the wait time before he can get to them. pm me or call me lloyd if you can find anything out. Rob

What caused them to crack???

Rpainter

not a clue. I do not have any programmer on the truck for over a year and I cant remember the last time I turned on my mp-8?? the truck has 3 fuel filters on it and two water seperators. I run clean fuel,2-cycle and fuel treatment in it.

Wow.... that does suck.

Rpainter

tell me about it

Oh Man, we are covered up for weeks. I cant see a fast solution to this issue other than trading out some running injectors I have here with your exploded ones.

We can also get you new ones. I will get with Lloyd and see what we need to do here.

Rpainter

hopefully lloyd can get a break long enough to call me and we can go from there. I pulled them adn I can not see any cracks or anything that is loose but I did not expect to see anything with the naked eye

Bswope

Dang Rob all that filtration and no programmer or pressure box for a year... man thats not making me real excited.....

Rpainter

that is right no power or smoke nor is it very fun to drive but the injectors could have been going bad for sometime now just decided to go out now.

Rpainter

on the way to you don as soon as lloyd can get his walker pointed it the direction of the post office Rob

How many miles on these injectors, how many with added pressure, and how many with better filtration?

Sorry for all the questions...

lmills

that is just plain wrong.... in my feeble minded state I cannot remember where I put them...

Rpainter

total miles 58,000
rebuilt by f-1 at 35,000
all the extra filters added the day I got them back
ran a quad box the first time they was rebuilt and have had a mp-8 installed but very rarely used in the past 2 years.
