Just to conclude this thread.
After much deliberation I bought the DJ that ELVIS taunted me with.
Now planning to use the injection system it comes with.
My current DJ with the carb and all the ancills, will be sold for what it is.
Thanks all for the input.

what2d has just asked me how I count 10 turns of the engine and I realised I was counting what sounds like 10 turns but may not be.
How do you count 8 turns Kev?

As I had help I could watch the gauge pump up, I simply counted the pulses..
