Default 746 Injectors Trouble

So I have a set of 746 injectors I got for a good deal and even rebuilt with new o rings band the likes, however, when I tested them to make sure they "clicked" only 3 of them did, then only 1 clicked. Could they be stuck closed on the inside or are the fried? I don't know if I should just get my money back from the seller or attempt to resurect them first.

Got my money back. Quite promptly I might add. And I can keep the injectors. I wonder if there is a way to try and salvage these injectors if it's just stuck shut from being clogged or rusted somehow. They came from Seattle.

Most of the time when an injector locks up it is junk.

A few times I have got them to un seize but I would not sell them to anyone after they have seized up and got them un locked.

What did you pay for them?

In the forum here I sell clean rebuilt 746's for $65 shipped.

I got them for $45. Should've raised an eyebrow to the price because you get what you pay for haha. Guess my refund is going towards buying them from you!
