    Hi there, quick query.

    I have managed to get my car running again, however the car runs for a short space of time and dies. Also, when the throttle is pressed, the car splutters then dies.

    Any ideas if this is to do with the k-jet and if so, what would the issue be?

    Thanks

    It could be a number of things to be honest......fuel pump, fuel pump relay, filter, WUR, mixture setting....not easy to diagnose with the limited information supplied I'm afraid.

    Do you have any test equipment such as k-jet pressure test gauge etc? It get's a little tough to properly diagnose k-jet issues without this but not impossible.....

    i'll breathe some magic on it and see if we cant get it running as good as new
    the wiring to the warm up regulator did not look to clever the other day that may be why it's cutting out

    i'll take the pressure gauge i have to check it
