Today I replaced the glow plugs on my B2150. To get better access to the front plug, I disconnected the front-most fuel delivery pipe from the injector pump and also removed the associated delivery valve holder. I think I got some dirt inside when I reassembled and clogged the front cylinder fuel injector. Here are the symptoms:
-Engine starts and runs but has low power
-Front exhaust manifold is ~100 degrees cooler than middle and rear manifolds (tested using infrared thermometer)
Does anyone think the problem might be something else?
Assuming I clogged the injector, is it worth removing and cleaning (with carb cleaner, as seen on YouTube) or should I just replace it since new ones seem to run about $50 each?
Any reason not to replace all three at the same time?
Any tips for the job?
Thanks in advance.
