Testing Injectors at home?

Is there a way to test / clean injectors at home? I bought some used 30lb SVO's on ebay and would just like to make sure they are clean. They apparently only have 2000 miles on them. Any ideas???

The only good way I can clean them at home is to hook up a can of injector cleaner to the fuel rail and let the engine run off the injector cleaner until it stops. Does a great job. But you want them checked and cleaned BEFORE you install them and that would have to be done by a shop with with an utrasonic cleaner and a flow tester.

I can't think of a way to clean them, but you could test them by disconnecting an injector from your car while it's running and one at a time test the injectors you bought.
