Many thanks, I was seriously thinking about getting a system for my 502.Tom wrote:Well.. After much trouble and disgust I have decided to junk my fuel injection.. I was having trouble with the ECM losing tach signal and shutting the engine down. After many phone calls to RETROTEK and getting the same ol story of WOW.. we never heard of that happening before.. and their lack of support in making things right I decided to go back to a carb. The guys at retrotek would only say "send it in and we`ll do a diagonstic scan on the computer but if it`s working when it gets here there is nothing we can do" BULLSHIT!! When it lost signal I could disconnect and reconnect the ECM and it would start and be fine until the next time. I checked all the pins and connectors and they were all good... Long story short.. if anyone was considering one of these systems I suggest you think again and look at their chicken shit "warranty" first. They have not heard the last from me.
Any way.. I figure as long as I am going to go back to bascis I might as well make the beast a little badder..Went with an 850 holley.. mechanical roller cam and lifters and matched valve train.. Did the 08 upgrade to the trans and gave it a good tune.. WOW!! The old scoot has a new lease on life... very strong with a 7000 RPM redline... Mileage sucks but what the hell... Gas prices are down and I am ready for Oklahoma!!
I'm working on a Double pump, dual feed 800, right now.Els wrote:Tom,
I've had a few conversations with Mike (Kelly) about FI because one (or a few) of the Vanquish bikes had it. Seemed Mike got pretty disgusted with all but one setup that was appropriate for a F1 car and hugely expensive. I happened to ride that bike and it was incredible, but as I recall, the FI system was VERY expensive. Mike had told me everything else he experimented with was crap. If you were to want to continue giving it a try, he'd be a good one to talk to.

Oh, just toying with trying out an 800 df, dp manual secondary Holley carb that I have. I don't really want to use it, but then again, it may work out, as I'm running 389", big heads and manifold, and a mildly hot roller cam. Not getting enough top end out of the Edelbrock AVS that's on there, now.Aussiefahrt wrote:sorry BJ mate, didnt quite catch it...what was that again about a double pumper?
