Compression issue? Parts and guide to fix

So back at it this morning.

So when I unplug this the engine will run

 

check it’s not jammed

 

Have you got a hose wrong, perished or an air leak?

 

Here's a little video

So got a little bored and started looking at ebay, i have just seen someone selling twin carbs that's caught my eye, should I look to move over to carbs or stick with the FI?

Get what you have working first, otherwise you risk compounding one problem, with another.

After that it's your money, your choice

 

Why does plugging in my AFM kill the engine. Help

 

I'm sorry I know nothing of F.I.

Post lots of photos of your installation wiring and vacuum pipes etc, someone may spot a mistake.

 

I just went through some old samba post ( they are very uptight over there) found a post with he exactly same issues but of course no resolution.

I know the it's not stuck and I tested the fuel pump by having the ignition on and pushing the flap.

 

Knowing nothing of FI.. and this is prob why I've avoided it.. do you still get 12v at the coil when you plug your AFM back in?.. might be shorting something if your wiring is wrong..

It went before...so it must be something you've wired or plumbed wrong?

You have some exhaust leaks too I think.

 

Must be but I've looked back at videos and photos and think everything is back in correctly.

So what you're saying is I should buy carbs

I'm going to have a hunt online for images of the wires the Bentley isnt very helpful being black and white

 

FI is better than carbs, you have it and it was working before so it'll work again.
Is your cold start valve working?

 

I just remembered I swapped my thermo time switch for a cleaner one I had going to be a nightmare to get to but I'll swapping that

 

Well that didnt work, tried a different ECU, and double relay

 

I know precious little about FI as well, but when I was working through my 411, I used the fuel injection resources from ratwells site.

There are other articles on ratwell.com as well.

 

Does any one know it terminal one should go to + or - on the ignition coil

 

Negative , but that’s not the problem as it simply wouldn’t run

 

It runs ok with the afm unplugged, it sounds like there is a fuel issue like it's being starved
