    I believe the above (first pic, "Second Design") has an error in the order the parts are assembled and should be as below:

    Found this interesting video posted on a Lamborghini forum just now, it's a theoretical overview for the K-Jet system and should be mandatory viewing for anyone who decides to keep it on their car The video quality is a little wonky (obviously recorded from a VHS with some tracking issues) but the audio is good and the video glitches don't really detract.

    I also just learned that K-Jet was used on the Countach.

    Great find!!!
    (Just have to remember the plate works backwards because of the pivot location....)

    This one was in the same group.

    My VIN:    Formerly 2329

    The Ferrari 308s also had K-jet and from the few owner's I've spoken to (and the postings on their forums), it hasn't really been a problem for them. They do have more steel and fewer flexible hoses than our stock setup, but I don't know if that would have any impact or not.

    the b27f & b28f with k-jet were used in the volvo 260 series, and k-jet was used on the 4cylinder volvo motors for many years. a great source of info for k-jet stuff is: k-jet.org

    My VIN:    Getting closer and closer...

    I know a couple Ferraris here locally that use K-Jet systems have been pretty good as long as the cars are driven (which can be said for any car!). They also use non-ethanol gas, but premium works good as well



    I know one 308 that doesn't have K-Jet, but it's an earlier production model with Webber Carbs

    The other 2 Ferraris are a 1985 308 QV and 1980 400i V-12. I have been helping the owner of the 400i some.



    K-Jet is not that bad of a system. May not be perfect, but not horrible!
