Wierd ! - Its a GUSHER !

[jdbubb@ix.netcom.com (Dan Bubb)]

I'm with Alan on this.
I'd pull all the injectors and put them in small equal sized bottles and run
the pump while pulling the metering plate up. The output should be equal and
I'd bet on your engine they are not.
Just as a side note; you should never pull up the metering plate with any of
the injectors installed for just this reason. The one you've pulled is
telling you you have flow, but the other ones are filling the cylinders with
gas.
Pull them all if you're going to check flow.
