dude... Carbs on a FI cam suck.....

dont half ass it. go all the way, or not at all (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)
no reversing....

yep, no giveseys backseys (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) if you have to live with carbs for a bit to get the FI running so be it, but carbs won't make you happier, they will just displace your frustration...

btw CARB experience is a joke... you won't be able to apply it to FI later... don't end up like me, man!! I learned carbs when I was a kid and haven't invested time in learning FI... learn FI and forget the carbs

what is the REAL holdout? why would you really want to do this? that is what you should be asking yourself... learning carbs is not a good reason, to just get it going isn't even a great reason... either chose carbs because that is what you want the engine to be forever(or at least til the next rebuild) or because you already know carbs, or because you inheirted them...

you didn't inheirit and you don't already know carbs, and you already have a Full FI!
