Right. Front end kit here. Couple of questions.
What injectors are these? I was expecting Valtek but I understand they have red bodies. Only I.D. I can find is a Motogas sticker



Next one. What is this for? I've got an KME gold vaporiser. Does this need to be fitted between the tank and vaporiser or is redundant with my type of vaporiser



Just the inlet manifold to come and then I can beaver away

the filter screws into the KME, and the liquid feed screws into filter.

Injectors - I'd have to plug in to mine, as I have the same, but can't remember what we set them to

I think those injectors are configured as "AC 3 ohm". Failing that, list the possibilities and I'll pick one at random.

Go easy on drilling the jets out on those!

Was aiming for 2.5 mm as a start. Filter now makes sense. Just got to order up some Faro fittings as the ones in the front end kit won't fit the new pipe. It's to big on the outside diameter to allow the brass nut to slide over the pipe. Also my solenoid valve on the tank has a male external thread. It's a Valtek item. I'm guessing that's just 1/4" BSP size?

I have a feeling 2.5mm on those is a bit much as a starting point, but I'll set someone who uses them comment further. ;)

Start at 2.2mm and work up in 0.1mm increments.  2.5 was too much on my 2.5.  I think CG has his 3.2 at 2.3mm :y

Edit: In fact start at 2mm :y

Right ya are. Am I right in thinking the only jets I need to drill out are the ones which screw in to the injector bodies?

Nope they are already about 3.5mm and do not need any drilling.

The brass fittings on the injectors are what you need to drill.  Remove with a suitable spanner and hold them in a vice or similar.

Indeed, mine with those injectors are 2.5mm, and the injectors are too slow at idle.

I'd start at 2.1mm, and increase at 0.1mm increments if it starts to go lean at full chat

I can't believe I've got to buy a load of daft drill sizes. I'll never use them again.  :-[ :-[

Drill bits now sorted. Tinley order in for pipe fittings and few odds and sods. Now just the fannymould. I may fit up the tank this weekend so that's already for when I can fit the front end.
