I am not giving this one to you without a challenge.steve74baywin wrote:
After five+ years of being proud (imagine that) at how smart and capable I was at keeping the FI system in my 78 Westy running, I removed it in 2009. I reflected on why "I" own, like and keep these vehicles. It was for the simplicity. The amount of times I had to look at the FI system in the 78 westy compared to the single carb in my 66 beetle or single weber progressive in my 74 bus was 100 times more. If a person takes the time to make the system like new, one could have many years of good use before he has to spend tons of time on it again.
While some have been flummoxed by the FI, many others here have had not a lick of trouble, never having had to rebuild accelerator pump diaphragms, replace vacuum breaks, find a new choke heater element, watch needle valves fill the crankcase with fuel, deal with throttle links that self-destruct like on the Kadrons.... fuel injection has maybe two moving parts. Replacing the temp sensor II takes five minutes and no adjustment.
