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'll dog pile on this one too!
I have a 1.8 (1.9 really) L-jet car. I went from: 1. Stock motor and FI to, 2. 1911 with Webers to, 3. 1911 with L-jet. I prefer the L-jet to carbs any day. Much smoother idle and acceleration and better gas mileage. I feel like I lost a little bit of power, but it's what came with the car, so I feel it's worth any trouble it brings. "Bosch Fuel Injection and Engine Management", by C Probst is a stellar book. Highly recommend. |
