Default Blocked injectors

I sent my injectors in to RC Eng for testing because it seemed like 2 of them were not spraying and it turns out that they said the 2 injectors were blocked. I did not get to talk to the tech that tested them but they said it could have been from the injectors sitting and that the fuel could have solidified in them? The car sat for about a month in between starts. It's a meth setup and I've been draining the fuel after each use. But I guess there's prolly still some sitting in the injectors huh. Strange this is that it was only 2 of them (cyl 2 & 4), and the other 2 they said tested perfect. Anyone experience this?

its extremly possible..
if you can, run pump gas through the car after methanol use. that should help correct the problem you are having. if you cannot run pump gas through it, remove the injectors, spray wd-40 through them ( you will have to power them for this.)

draining isnt sufficient, u need to actually flush the whole system, run the engine with gas after the meth to fully flush it out.

can't emphasize that enough. methanol coats your intake too......

Ya, I know. I do pickle the system with gas but my pump just died on me while running meth so now I need to flush the injectors out manually cause I'm unable to start the car. So what's the best what to power the injectors like DaveF mentioned?
