FNG question again. The 72 914 I just bought has a set of delorto (dellorto?) carbs versus the stock FI set up. I know nothing about these carbs other than that they are very similar to Weber carbs. I am much more familiar with HS2 and HS4 carbs on British cars.
So what is the general thought on carbs versus FI? Should I consider converting it back to FI or just keep and tune the existing carbs? If converting back to FI, how difficult and/or expensive of a project will this be? Enquiring minds want to know. |

FI sucks, stick with the carbs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif)
QUOTE Do a search, there is soooooooooooo much info on this, it will make your head hurt. It boils down to what you like. I am a fan of FI so that's what I have. Simlple as that Its so true, been discussed, some like FI and some like carbs. For FI its a nice setup if your drive takes you to extreme changes, like altitude and temp. For carbs, I (now this is me) have had less trouble with my webers and I like the performance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
