| Sorry to hear this one has turned sour on you; it sounds like a decent car that was probably shined up and had some mechanical issues swept under the rug. Unfortunately, all too common - not that that ... |

| It's such an irony that my position ten years ago leaned towards ditching K/KE-jet when I had the time and money to switch to EFI. Now, however, I have no plans to retrofit any of my three K/KE-jet en ... |
