Not sure how long it had been setting... I bought it from an auction and it was purchased from govliquidation back in october or that what the title says anyway

I had an injector that leaked fuel. I ending for taking two crescent wrenches to unscrew the injector and replaced the copper washer for that injector.

Pull the injector and check out the copper washer on the bottom.
This is a super easy task.

Welcome to the Machine. When ever possible take pics or as much info as possible.
Is it leaking from around the orange dust cover?
Is it leaking from the plastic lines that connects the injectors.
If leaking from the injector bottom as in copper washer I might just try and backoff a little and just retighten before I took it out. If it does not work you did not lose much time.

We recently swapped injectors in my deuce and found one of the brass crush washers was pitted a bit. When you cranked it over you could hear a loud air leak coming from that cylinder. Easy fix, remove injector, swap out washer, done. Hopefully yours is this easy to fix, good luck!!

While your checking look at the bolt length holding injector in. Sometimes you will find that the bolt has been replaced with a sightly longer bolt that has bottomed before it tighten.

I've had problems with injector lines breaking and #2 seems to be the most prone to this condition. It will break down inside the fitting that connects to the injector.

I pulled the injector out and and it looked alrite. so i put it back in and now it feels like there is compression on the orange dust cover. I pulled it back out and made sure there was nothing keeping it from seating good and reinstalled it it feels like there is less now but still a little bit. How tight do i need to tighten the 2 bolts that hold the injector in. Also i dont think it is leaking fuel anymore but now just the compression.
