my $5k engine is going to have carbs. my current is FI.
so i know i need to cap off the fuel return, do a jumper on the fuel pump for constant pressure.... what else? is there a definitive list? i would like to make this as painless as possible so when the motor arrives, i have made the needed changes or modifications to ease things along. i will keep a list of comments and ultimately post what i am told and what i find to work for future folks making the changes.... thanks in advance...

after a bit of pratice you'll be able to pull the idles in about 2 minutes each. remove the fi wiring completely. alt loom stays put. even if a jet fouls, you'll be able to limp home if you don't want to do a road side fix. i'm going to look into one of those small micron, cleanable fiters. if your tank is clean and you're still plugging jets, there is debris in the carb bowls. a little can of compressed air (the kind you blow off the computer keyboard with) is nice to have in the tool box. beats the hell out of sticking a gassy jet in your mouth to blow the crap out. before you install the carbs, if they aren't new, check the idle/air mix screw needles for groves worn into them and inspect the little o-rings that seal the i/a mixture screws and the idle jet holders. these 2 issues can have you chasing tunning problems.
