Not going BACK to f.i., but UPgrading to f.i.
Posted: Sat Aug 02, 2008 9:51 pm
(If I've asked this before, someone please punch me on the shoulder. I think I asked once on TS but didn't get any real answers, as far as I can remember.)
Of course there's loads to be found about converting 1975-79 buses from f.i. to carbs, and as much about switching back to f.i. once the scales have fallen away from the eyes, but I can't seem to find anything about upgrading 1972-74 buses to fuel injection.
Currently Ludwig (Class of '74) has a Weber progressive (re: Weber depressive), but I have his original Solexes, waiting to be reviewed/rebushed/rebuilt. In the end, I wonder: would it be worth looking into forgetting the carbs and outfitting him with fuel injection? Has anyone done this? Are there any obstacles, serious or otherwise, that one might encounter?
