In the case where a K-jet injected engine has been in regular service and is running poorly, the advice would indeed be to first ensure that it has good compression and that the ignition system is in good order. In this case, however, where the engine has been out of service for nine years, the first order of business is to clean the fuel supply system of all the old gasoline. This may be done by first draining the tank of old fuel, then adding about 5 gallons of fresh fuel. With the fuel pump relay removed, the pump sockets may be bridged to cause the pump(s) to run continuously. The continuously running pump(s) will circulate fresh fuel through all the supply and return lines, the filter, and a portion of the fuel distributor & pressure regulator. After about fifteen minutes of pump running, a change of the main filter is in order, and another fifteen minutes of circulation. If fortune smiles, when the engine is next started, fresh fuel will make its way to all the nozzles, the metering plunger will be free, and the EHA orifices will wash out.
