 |

I have an Air Flow Performance fuel injection system on my Lycoming O-320. The AFP manual recommends cleaning the fuel injectors every 100 hours. Other than soaking in Hoppes #9, no detailed instructions are given for cleaning the injectors.
What is the best, approved, method for cleaning fuel injectors?

I soak mine for an hour, careful not to mix them up.
Blow out with compressed air
No poking with wire or anything.

My IO-390 has been running as smooth as a Swiss Watch for the past 1600 hours and I have never cleaned the injectors. I guess that will be on my list next annual.

Bill,
Don't fix it if it ain't broke or you may end up fixing it until it is broke.
