It lives! Will post a video and photos layer. However I do have a couple of snags.
I cleaned the distributor and all ignition connections. I changed the spark plugs, cleaned and tested the cold start injector, tested the cold start air valve, and checked the metering plunger was free.
Started first turn of the key, but wouldn't run without throttle.
Adjusted the baseline idle adjustment (the black plastic thumbscrew on the throttle) and now it idles between 700 and 900 without stalling. It also revs beautifully and sounds perfect. However I have the following issues.
- cold idle is very rough, whole car shakes.
- It smells very rich.
- engine seems to bog right down when given a small amount of throttle. Larger amounts are fine.
Once it warms up, idle is significantly improved. Still smells rich though.
It's a k-jet, no idle air control valve, no idle microswitch.
Not sure what to look at next. Idle mixture screw? It appears to be hidden under a long tube that means an Allen key doesn't actually reach it.
Thermotime switch? Where is this located anyway - does it go into the coolant jacket?
Very happy to have it running, but I think it may be tricky to drive in its current state.
