Fuel Flow Testing Part II

With a new battery installed, I've resumed working on this. I also ordered and connected a Battery Tender brand trickle charger/maintainer. Having a fully charged battery makes all the difference in the world (imagine that).

The flow test seems to have indicated one failed injector and possibly a second. The injector @ the #1 cylinder isn't flowing at all. It drips a little and that's about it. The injector at cylinder #2 is sporadic. It kinda sounds like a faucet with air in the system needing to be purged. I know this isn't the case though as the system is air-tight and there are no leaks anywhere. If any air was trapped in the system, it would be expelled within the first second or two of operating the system.

I'm going to research and see if I can soak these 2 injectors in some sort of a chemical/cleaning bath. If that doesn't correct the issue, I'll have to replace them @ $60 each. It's probably worth a few bucks to try cleaning them first.

Here is a video I took last night illustrating the problem:
