My opinion, which is worth not much!
Do not do it. After 10 years of experimenting with a set of 40mm webers on a 2.0 engine, and 10 years of turning this and that and trying every available set of main and idle jets, and after every different choke, even with a set of custom ones, and thinking we finally had them right, a guy with a stock 2.0 with fi (he did have european p&c's) could out pull us on the relatively short main straight at Grattan. We put the fi back on the motor, and I swear it is faster, and has more low end torque. And it just starts nice and runs, and runs and runs. Spend what it takes to make the fi work like it did new, and do not believe all the bull crap about how much better carbs are. The factory did not have switch to fi because it made less hp, or a less reliable engine. Change ignition systems, change exaust systems etc. but keep the stock fi. |
