Remove them from the manifold, one at a time, place in a glass jar, and check the give a nice even spray of fuel when engine is cranked. CAUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Disable ignition system by disconnecting low tension circuit Only perform test on a cold engine Remove any source of flame/spark, do not smoke etc.
