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? |

I've had three major bad running problems with my 1.8 1974 L-jet:
One was a stuck flapper in the air intake thingy. One was a bad dual relay: car would run poorly for 30-40 seconds and then would konk out. One was a fried engine harness. Each problem fixed with replacement parts, a "good" used harness, a rebuilt air thingy and a new dual relay. Car running smoothly now. Contact Tim about L-jet, he's an accessible expert. PM sent.
