Kjet GTi Doesn't want to start.

But it's also hard to start when warm.. I think it's losing line pressure. I had to ditch the accumulator as it was leaking, but it's like an injector isnt firing until higher revs.

Accumulator hold system pressure when engine is switched off, makes it possible to start engine when warm.
Why dont you read the manual and understand how it works, will save you a load of money replacing parts that are ok.
Unless you have a pressure guage and do the tests required to confirm if the pump is delivering enough pressure and volume of fuel K- jet will not operate satisfactorily.

The simple electrical tests will usually confirm the operation of the electrical components however its crucial that the delivery volume and pressure are within specified values. If you are unsure or dont have the correct tools and knowledge take it to someone who does. As said. it will save you dollars and time in the long run.

I had a gauge on the WUR outlet from the metering head and it was showing 510 when idling and then when switched off, slowly dropped to almost nothing.

Bower power is going to have a look at it when he gets back, but means taking all the fuel gibbons off for him to test.

Mind you, this thing probably hasn't had a decent fuel service I the last 10 years or so!

Off the top of my head system pressure should stay high for about 1/2 an hour minimum, If you have bypassed the Accumulator thats is likely why yours drops . 510 in what units ??

We set Anton's control pressure at 81 PSI last month for its initial tune, the engine has only done 15 minutes run time. so its going back after 600 ~ 1000 Km for a power tune.

Can't remember, think it was 5.1 bar??? Might try to run a different engine until I can get this Kjet sorted.

Anyone have an engine for sale??? lol
