Bought the '70 from a guy in Towson that runs a Muffler shop. He could start it with starter fluid but it didn't have enough fuel pressure to run. It needed tires and heat exchangers as well. So now it has the exhaust fixed, wheels and tires and fuel pump.
There is spark at the cyl., fuel at the cyl. and good compression but still won't start except on fluid. It is stock in configuration. I can't say much more 'cause it is being repaired by the tech up there but he isn't familiar with early Bosch systems. Any ideas? |

That statement displays a serious lack of understanding of how D-jet fuel injection works. Throttle position has NOTHING to do with cold start problems. NOTHING. It's obviously not getting fuel. Does the pump run for 1.5 seconds after the key is turned to the "on" position? With the key on, can you move the throttle plate to full open and hear a series of clicks as you do so?
