Hello Folks,
I was looking to educate myself better regarding pop testing of fuel injectors.
I have a Yanmar GM20FV and sent the injectors to be pop tested at a nearby Yanmar dealer. They have been struggling with having them tested because of adapters not fitting correctly. These adapters were provided by Yanmar distributor from the dealer.
The injectors have been at the dealer for approximately 3 months.
My impression of pop testing injectors was that they are placed on a machine and then a pump lever is pressed to see the spray pattern. Moreover some pressure is applied to see if there a leak in the injector.
Aren't the GM20s popular still? Meaning there are many of them out there and that parts are still available?
Is there anyone else who had trouble getting GM20 injectors pop tested due to adapters? Are the adapters hard to acquire?
It seems to me that a pop test shouldn't be so troublesome, but this is my first pop test request. I did buy new injectors; the old injectors would be spares.
Looking forward to reading your thoughts on the topic.
