P1800 ES - 1973 1800 1973

Hi Rob, I reread or scanned your previous thread(s). I think the best approach would be to go through the “troubleshooting manual” step by step. You’ve certainly got a lot of things going on. As 142G reiterated you need to set the FP at 28-30 psi. Otherwise you’ll be chasing gremlins. If your FPR is leaking, you’ll need to get one that works. Yes they are $$, but you can’t make progress without one that works properly. I just saw a NOS one go on EBay for ~$200. Failing getting the correct one, you can get an aftermarket one that would likely work, but that’s another project.

Step by step is what works. Reading other stuff from various forums and latching on to something some one else suggests, that says “this and that” will only compound the diagnosis. You can’t ignore one problem, and then go to something else, hoping for success.

DJet is not perfect, but switching to carbs has its own family of problems. There’s lots of stories out there. And probably more work and $ than getting DJet to operate properly.

We’re here to help, but you need to stick to the methodical step by step diagnosis.
