There is no real "adjustment" on the injectors. However, the poppet screw, under the solenoid, can get loose, causing the injector to not fire as much fuel as if it were tight. It's a tough little bugger to find a wrench for, so I'm in the process of replacing the poppet screws with ones that will allow tightening.
