that injector clogging happened in just a brief ten hours. There must
be an
underlying systems problem that caused the clogging. Have you found
that
problem? If not it will just re-occur in the next ten hoursof running
time.

This is a valid point, don't you think? Is there something in the tanks, or
somewhere in the fuel system causing the injectors to be clogged so quickly?
Was there some problem previously existing in the engine?

With these plastic airplanes (like I'm building) clogged fuel filters
are common until all the crud is cleaned out of the tanks. After all,
working with fiberglass is mostly sand and fill, sand and fill, fill
and sand, fill and sand and if you get bored you can change that back
to sand and fill... At any rate that creates a *lot* of dust, not all
of which is easily blown out of tanks.

If the injectors are truely clogging it sounds like a fuel system
needs a thorough flush and the addition of a really good fuel filter.
That little jet engine isn't exactly over endowed with thrust so any
loss is substantial.


Fixing a problem is good.

Fixing the cause of a problem is even better. g

It certainly can save a lot of work in the long run and maybe even
hospital bills.
