XUD noise, injector leak?

Unread post by caspar »

My ZX1.9D has recently been making a sort of chuffing noise, especially when starting from cold. Seems to fade away when warmed up.
At first I thiught it was an exhaust leak but had a look round and found nothing.
Starting to think it could be an injector leaking.
What's the best way to confirm this?
Listen with a screwdriver on each injector in turn or maybe some soapy water around the injector and look for bubbles?
Thanks.

Yes that would do it but if its leaking enough to hear you should be able to find it, if it is leaking it may have an accumulation of a tar looking substance round the joint.
