Getting a 16v Conversion Started!

Post by Bonusrocco »

Well its seems like I'm right on the cusp of having my 16v fire into life, but no cigar as of yet!

The engine cranks, but doesn't fire. Turn it once, then stop, then turn it again and it will pop so I know there's at least little fuel.

I'm basically a complete norn, so I'm wondering if someone can just write a checklist in order to help me eliminate one by one in the logical order?

Its a 9a on kjet/mk2 electrics.

Thanks!!


So many plans, so little time
