It's not news to anyone here: stock FI parts wear out and are becoming harder to find, which means maintaining the stock FI system in a reliable and well-operating condition is becoming challenging and expensive.
This is not meant to be a debate on which is the best because that's purely a personal decision based on many factors...I'm just wondering what people are running. Feel free to add in why you're running what you're running in this thread. I personally am converting from stock FI to megasquirt this winter because

Running stock fuel injection is well worth the effort to source good parts. I answered that I am running aftermarket because a Raby Kit 2432 will not run on stock EFI (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Save up a little to buy a second Weber. A single doesn't work so great. Two of them work REALLY great. |

Save up a little to buy a second Weber. A single doesn't work so great. Two of them work REALLY great. I would't go OP except to prevent a fellow board member from wasting $300. Single carbs, progressive or not, can't work adequately on 914 because there is no means of getting exhaust heat up to the intake, and the manifold is pretty "long.". Without heat, the expanding mixture cools and the manifold tubes become a condenser. It's really hard to adjust a carburetor when the mix it's supposed to produce is de-carburized before it enters combustion. I have stock d-jet FI and am surprised how well it works given all the 40 year old stuff it uses. I'm also troubled and irritated that many critical components are obsolete. Dual carbs sit closer to the head. More heat, less distance for the A/F mix to travel. No doubt someone has done it with "no problems" but theres no way to get around the physics and that means the odds of such a set up working properly are poor. |
