6. Pump the operating lever more rapidly to
repeatedly "pop" the injector and observe the
spray pattern. The pattern should be a very fine
uniform spray (Figure 7-50). If a dripping or an
uneven pattern is seen (Figure 7-51), service or
replace the injector.

If the fuel injector fails any of these tests, it should
be serviced or replaced as necessary. If the
pressure is outside specified limits, adjust the
pressure. See Adjusting Fuel Injector Pressure on
page 166.
