Tell me about it Al, on our GWR pannier tank 5764 this year, I was hosing
down the injector with cold water at Kidderminster while my mate took water.
The water had got hot in the tanks and the injector overheated. As soon as I
tried it again, it was no problem but until it was cooled, no chance... And
that's from a GWR injector, supposed to be the bees knees!

Glad you got the problem solved, Peter, as I
understand that injectors, even full-sized, can be
touchy!
