I am converting L Jetronic fuel Injection to single carb with electric choke. Is there any use for the double relay?

L-jet is a good FI system in general and is usually fairly easily fixed.
A single carb on ANY flat engine is a bad idea. With the flat unheated intake runners on the type 4, fuel tends to fall out of suspension and collect on the bottom of the intake runners. This usually means lean mixture and poor throttle response. Often the mixture is set overly rich to compensate and which only masks the issue. If I was on a budget and could not fix the FI, I would opt for dual single throat 34 mm carb kit long before any single carb kit. Jim |
