I think I recall working on an injector leakdown test
back in my Service Bay days at Ford.
But I guess if you've got leaky injectors on your
plane, it's time to replace them.

Mike,
Unfortunately things do not remain perfect after a
period of use.......Many
are flying on used injectors and they will seep
enough fuel between flights to flood the engine while holding +/- 40 psi
residual pressure........Therefore
the bypass is a simple and foolproof fix requireing
nothing from the pilot or
driver in the case of an automobile.....
