Bens bosch conversion dont use the wrong key!

[Ben Jay]

Right so when i go to start it takes a while to actually catch. once it does it will only last a few seconds with the throttle wide open. then it will slowly die during those 3 seconds.

I have double checked the wiring and it is the red wire on the black plug and it stayed live for over 1 min.

with the timing i will ask the garage tomorrow morning to check it but from what i saw it was correct.

i have checked the lines and they wont sit any other way then the way i have put them in. i have also had a mechanic friend come and check them and he said they were in the correct order

the woodruff key is definitely in place as that was a pain in the arse to source!

the fuel pump bolts onto the cradle using the original cradle that came with the bosch.

i will check the grenade again tomorrow when its back from the garage but when it was at mine it wouldnt go as hard as i remember.

I am using the bosch injectors but will try with the lucus ones when i can.

and according to the guy i bought the pump off it worked and the max fuel screw had been played with but i didnt think that would be a factor as i was playing with the throttle when i was trying to turn it over.

also can you just clarify what you mean by the banjo bolts and how do i check for stuck injectors?

and i am aware that 90% of conversions go right thats why i did it! but for me im mr bad luck so if it will go wrong it ususally does!
