Cold start injector - am I missing the o ring?

Post by rjkoop »

I noticed fuel leaking from the area of the cold start injector when I was cranking the engine. So I removed it.

I don't have an o ring on the injector. Should there be one? If so what size?

Are you sure it didn't stay in the plenum?

Ah yep... duh! It was in the plenum. My bad. Thought it would be seated on the groove on the injector. Found it!

BTW I appreciate you guys being so patient with my stupid questions. You could have said 'Hey you ijjit! It's in the plenum!'. Thanks for your diplomatic answers... :D
