K-Jet is beautifully-simple. It's the electronic addons and
cold-start junk that's the bug-bear.

>I guess one can get away with a lot on land (in a car), where the ecu lives

K-Jet has no ECU until you go for KE-Jet.

The purely mechanical K-Jet isn't all that difficult to set up if
you have the equipment and know-how. Probst's book describes the
system well.

The reservation I have about K-Jet on a boat is the zinc castings.

Nothing wrong with a good TDI on the water. :-)

LUCAS - "the prince of darkness" :-)
