Thanks for the thought, Lee. I tried that, a little gentle pull with needle nose pliers. The wire clip doesn't want to pull out, but it pushes in easily about 1/4". But then the male plug with the two wires doesn't release. There are three other metal clips on the fuel lines that easily pull out, but not this one.
On the MAX fiche, I see the injector with a square female receptacle, but I don't see the male plug that goes into it and is secured by the metal clip.
I'll keep looking, maybe someone here knows what the male plug is.

Ran,
The connector looks very similar to ones on early Kbikes. Those wire clips pull out. In fact, since they are open on one end (the end to the right in your photo) you can remove the whole wire clip before trying to separate the connectors.
After looking at an enlarged version of your photo, it appears that your connector IS different. There appears tto be a small tab to the rear (left) of your wire clip that would prevent the clip from being pulled out. That would mean that the clip needs to be pushed in. See if there is something preventing it from being pressed in further (like maybe the left end of the wire clip needs to be pressed up ( or down) AND in at the same time to go in all the way.
The clips are designed to be easy to connect on the assembly line (as it should be).
They require more effort to disconnect because you don’t want them to accidentally come loose.
