Derek; I have to agree with jossette, either dirty or bad injectors. You can try the fuel additive for cleaning, however if that doesn't work, best to take the injectors to a professional for cleaning or rebuilding. What you may have done cleaning lines, etc. is loosen some dirt that entered an injector after the clean up. What I like doing after working on a fuel system, before connecting lines to injectors, is turn the engine over for about 30 to 60 seconds in the shut off position. I know this makes a mess, but most systems you can put small plastic tubes on injection lines to run fuel to a pail. Another item you should always do is the minute you remove an injection line is have plastic caps to plug the injector inlet. I've even used plastic wrap from the kitchen with elastic bands. Even loose particles floating in the air can partially plug an injector, thus distorting nozzel spray pattern. Never scrape around the injector nozzel with a kinfe, wire brush, etc. Even the slightest scratch and distort the injector spray pattern. Keeping things clean, a big item working on diesel injection systems. Your kind in the same catergory as a surgeon, while working on an open diesel fuel system. If and when you go to a diesel injection shop, just observe how careful these guys on cleanliness, that is if they allow you in the work room. I know an old time engine rebuilder, who would never assemble an engine with people in shop. He said, "Folks milling about create dust and dirt, don't want that under a rod bearing cap."

Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
