Guys,

I just had the same problem in my 87 RX7. The O-ring in the secondary injector
was leaking just like Ed's. When I pulled it out a piece of the O-ring was missing.
I went everywhere I could think of in this small town to find a suitable replacement
to no avail. I ended up using one off an ebay spare fuel rail I had. I had a box
of SAE O-rings but there wasn't one that would fit. Word to the wise, make sure you replace
all of the injector O-rings when rebuilding. Make sure you put some suitable lube on the
rings before installing. I would recommend keeping a spare set in case yours leaks. Having
to remove the intake to replace the little bugger was no fun! Ed and I could have had a fire
due to the leak---so could you! Be careful out there, you hear?
