I'm running a 2.3 with (I ASSume) a stock cam. All the original D-jet stuff (for a 1.7) is in place and running well, but a little rough. With the increased displcement should I be running carbs instead of a 1.7 FI?
Many thanks!

I'm no expert here but I don't think the stock FI will handle that......I think the stock D-jet will only go up to the 2056cc engine Jake puts out....
but that is with the 2.0 D-jet setup

many people have kept the D-Jet and run bigger motors...he already stated the engine runs, it's "rough"...well, that roughness could be attributed to other things besides the displacment increase.

Have you gone thru the normal procedures for tuning and troubleshooting the engine? Ignition in top notch, valve adjust, no vac. leaks, properly operating distributor???

The basics needs to be nailed down first.

A WB02 such as one from Innovate would help and let you know if you are running lean and if so, by how much...
