I recently watched a You tube video. On there a guy was using Ethylene Glycol to clean small engine parts and router bits.... I can't say if this will work on injectors but I am considering trying this out with a small ultra sonic cleaner.
72 D-Jet tuning
Hello everybody. Thank you for the great information that has been posted. I have spent a lot of time reading through all of the posts, especially the encyclopedia germanica sticky. I want to start off by asking what browser is best for this website. I usually spend 5-10 minutes trying to load the page I want 
I am working on tuning my 72 350sl right now and I am getting a lot of misfires. Timing is set 5 degrees BTDC (about 27 total advance @ 3k rpm), but it jumps with misfire. Dwell is at about 33 and all injectors seem to fire just fine (I listened to them). She seems to misfire a lot before reaching operating temp, but not as much afterwards. Plugs are a little white, I set them at 0.032" Ecu is set to all the way rich, she misfires more if set leaner. I did check the air temp sensor and water temp sensor, but map.... there isn't a test for it? Right now I plan on cleaning the injectors and then replacing the fuel filter. Fuel pressure is also good, 31 psi. Can I soak the injectors in carb cleaner, or will that destroy the electronic or rubber parts? I haven't seen much information on the best way to clean them yet. I am also going to replace the soft top and paint the hood. I don't like the way the soft top bows up right now (on the back), is there a thread that deals with this? What is the best manufacturer for the soft top?
