    Was looking for a shop in or near Milwaukee to work on M1008; then did it all myself!

    I have cleaned diesel nozzles at pumps with ether because they were so nasty. Works good. If you think diesel was bad try the Seafoam or keep adding ATF. It might still free up that injector.

    M1009 Master Cylinder
