I am continuing my project of restoring a vintage Petter PJ1 air cooled single cylinder diesel engine powered genset of the Petbow brand. I have obtained a new set of piston rings and have the siezed piston out now and the bore cleaned and prepped with a fresh crosshatch. My attention has now come to the fuel injection system. Yesterday I managed to free up the fuel injection pump and have it all lubed and working apparently. I was able to test it by using a known good VW 1.6 diesel injector and by hand pumping the FI pump on-off lever which lifts the FI pump piston off the cam follower. It works! Now I need to address a bad injector.
Can anyone tell me if it is merely the two studs and flat bracket that hold the injector into the head? I have removed this bracket plate but the injector will not budge. It is being stubborn and I don't want to break it. I have no spare. The tip visible in the middle of the head is badly pitted from rust and the unit does not function. I have sourced a replacement tip from ListerPetter USA. A full injector is not available.
Does anyone here have a complete injector for this engine that they might be willing to sell?
Thanx, Rob
