You say the joints seem steam tight, are you sure there is no air being
drawn in from anywhere, I have had this trouble with 12" and model injectors
because air is seeping in. Remember, it doesn't take much to partially
destroy a vacuum in the injector body and this will cause the injector to
waste water/ not pick properly.

No experience with model injectors but I can say that the symptoms are the
same in 12" to the foot as what I have observed when others have left the
clack valves turned off when on the Festiniog engines.
Not that I have ever done that of course. :-)
Have you tried the injector with the outlet to the clack disconnected? If it
works then the clack will be the place to start.

The operation was the same in all cases, water on, steam on, the symptom
in all cases is excessive overflow. There is a slight "twitter" as the
steam is first applied, but that soon goes and the overflow continues.
Adjustment of steam and water has no effect.
