Hi all - so I've refitted d-jet on my 1.7 which had a single weber when I bought it. It's almost running but I've run out of ideas as to what to adjust or check. I've recorded a video of it starting. You'll hear that it starts quite lumpily and wants to stall. I manage to get the revs up by feathering the throttle and they go up to 2.5 or 3000 revs on their own for a second, and then it all dies again. I can keep it running by feathering the throttle again.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y06kdQC2IZg Fuel pressure when running is 2 BAR. Theres no cold start valve connected. All injectors are 'squirting' as I took them out and checked in a jam jar. I've tried adjusting timing, mixture screw, air screw. I haven't checked the valve clearances yet but have had the distributor in 100 different settings with no improvement. I just wondered if anyone has any ideas please? Thanks, Dylan |

Dylan,
That stuff sat in my garage for years before I sent it to you. The distributor could use a good cleaning. I thought there were two distributors in the stuff I sent. You might try the other one. Make sure you oil the felt inside the top of the distributor shaft. That lubes the advance mechanism. Clay |
