[T3] my 69 fastback wont start

[Mark Reno]

Its a 69 for sure. I think it is an early 69. I have the original papers
from the owner. So it was the first year of the VW fuel injection.

Would running alcohol or lacker thinker be ok to clean the injectors? Or do
you have a suggestion on what to clean them with?

I was thinking that maybe the injectorors might be gummed up. And  it's not
get fuel or not enough fuel.
