Thanks for the positive boost- looks like you and I are some of the few still into this sort of thing. I put it back together - kind of tricky because there are four valve/disc/springs per injector that need to sit up right as you tighten evenly on all four sides. There are four chambers of somewhat different volume, shape and with different sized orifices (orifie?).
Two intake (return from WUR and fuel intake) and two output (WUR and buzzy sensor thingamabob) - will have to verify this again. The centre spindle/rod appears to feed all four injectors and the o rings serve to prevent leakage down into the chambers. There is a thin metal plate separating the four lower chambers from the fuel injector intakes. None of this probably makes sense but just looking at it - it would seem that if the o rings had perished or weakened this would cause a drop in startup pressure because the fuel would find "other places to go."
Sorry about the non technical language here. But lacking training in Germanic Bosch speak this is the best I can do.
Yes it is Bosch built and a damned fine unit at that. Built to last I reckon. Next step come some fine spring day is to remove and disassemble the unit in my car now that I've got some practice. Pictures available upon request.
Some day I'll post a story about how my fuel injection system caught fire after returning from the mechanic after the 86 was saftied.
Turns out that all the cranking that I was doing in an attempt to figure out a non start problem before taking it in for the safety - cured by replacing the infamous pulse amplifier relay of the middle year models- was dumping a whole heck of a lot of fuel into the air filter canister.
I was driving the car back from the garage and whooompf small engine fire. Melted/burned the metal on the original air intake flapper, the filter housing and of course the filter itself. Hence the second distributor which I had lying around. Hope this makes sense.
