I am on my last nerve trying to get my 74 1.8 ltr L Jetronic fuel injected car started. Bypassed the seatbelt interlock to get the starter to work. Hot wired the fuel pump to get it working and still no go.
I am considering a carburetor conversion and see that Redline has a few kits. The dual carbs system has no choke and the single carb with electric choke has some distance from the cylinder heads. Anyone have any success they could share? |

To the original poster, how long has the car sat before this problem happened? Or did this just happen from one day to the next. Also another thing to take into consideration is how good your mechanical abilities are? Fuel injection can get a bit complex, but so can adjusting a set of carbs to run properly. If you don't have great mechanical abilities and have to rely on someone to install the carbs or troubleshoot the FI, things can get expensive quickly....
