Is there a practical way to clean up injectors yourself? What solvent should be used?

Replace them with newer injectors from the JY. They are disposable.
Sold but not forgotten

New injectors from the Junk Yard, now thats an oxymoron.
Why would they be any better than the ones he is replacing if they are, as you say, "disposable"?
