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.

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
