John,

How would you go about making one with a shop vac and dry ice? I'm still trying to find the leak in the 912E.

Regards,

I think IMA has a smoke machine. If you're going to use them to clean the injectors, maybe you can also see about getting some 'smoke time'

Speaking of IMA, I called a few times last week and there was no answer or vm. I email Ivan and no response.

I just had my 80SC smoke tested at RPM in Newington in diagnosing a lean condition. They found that the large rubber boot on the back side of the CIS equipment had a huge crack in it right where one of the two hose clamps holds the boot to the intake. We'd have never found this without the smoke. They used chemicals all over the metal to metal mating surfaces and found nothing. It was the smoke machine that found the problem.

Hmmm, maybe they are finally completing the move to the new shop
