Hi mate,

i guess from your post you are just starting out! Well done you. Service it WITH your mate.

if its standard, you don't have points.

The 2.1 DJ comes with injection, but as mine is an upgrade from the 1.9 it has the carb on it. Big mettally bit with a plastic pancake looking thin in the middle of the engine on top of the mainfold which runs from side to side across the engine. There is a 1.9 that is injected as well I believe, but I expect yours is carb

Good luck with your service
