Just sent off my money order, hopefully soon I myself shall report. I'm excited.

SOLD OUT!!

Unfortunately, I have no more good working nozzles (though I have a box of crappy nozzles, some almost new -India, go figure-, but out of German ones.)

Tried to get the deal on a bulk order of what German ones are left and after the Bosch shop called around, they only found THREE LEFT and they're in three different states.

Bosch USA says they moved ALL the nozzle ops to India. So I guess this is it for this biz. I might take an India nozzle down to a friends co. and check it out compared to the last new German nozzle I have and see what they look like under an optical comparitor and a scope to see why they're such crap, but Bosch really shot themselves in the foot (and me in the head) with that stupid move.

the link for WVO injectors does not work.

Looks to be a good operation though...

Just got back from meeting with Tom. Great guy, went out of his way to hook me up with a set of injectors. I'll post the results when I make the change..

Bring some injectors to me....

Bump

For some reason my $183.00 for injectors has been refunded. I guess there are no injectors left. DA-N !!!!

Sent you an email. Basically, I DO have nozzles and injectors for your order, but re-checking the set I built up about three weeks ago, there is more than a 2bar spread (closer to 5.) Found the problem in my super-duper 4.5" gauge (that allows me to read down to +/-10psi), a spring that re-sets the needle came un-sprung (will post pics this eve.) Have two more gauges on order and should be here later this week.

Your injectors will be sent as soon as I can re-balance the set. You can send payment when you receive them.

Sorry about that. I know everything else that has been shipped was right on the $'s, but one of your set was out and that's what stopped it and got me to testing the gauges.

Sure wish I would have seen this when I was screwing around the last two weeks with glow plug, heater, and window problems.
I eagerly await the possibility of more injectors, and would love to talk about veg oil mods; sent you an email Tom, I know your busy.
Have great holidays

Thank you!! I have an injector shop close by, but why rebuild a faulty injector with faulty parts?!?!?! I really need yours.

Hey TomJ still no fan motor or anything shown up yet at the house.

You planning on trying to send another motor or just doing a refund? Don't matter to me which.

FINALLY got my new injector tester gauges. Last one blew on me early this week. Lasted almost a year. Not bad for a $200 gauge!

So I bought TWO of them to reduce the down time NEXT TIME one breaks!

Those who've been waiting for this to get fixed will see your injectors (hopefully) before Xmas.
