    Is it pretty straight forward. I have the intake and sidedrafts already. Kinda new to 22r's, been messing with hondas most of the time. What issues would I run into since i'm converting to carburetion. wiring and what not. thanks

    fuel pressure and flow rate, EFI is WAYYYY to high for a weber.


    #2

    intake studs, you may have to either remove some studs and move them to unpopulated holes, or drill and tap your own.

    not really sure if this is a issue or not, im pretty ignorant when it comes to EFI. but there may or may not be some things that depend on sensors on the intake to make the coil work, i do belive that the later EFI has some special system for triggering the spark. you may want to convert to a magnetic crank trigger system, its far more exact anyway. worst case scenario, get a coil/ignitor/dizzy from a carb'd 20/22r.

    not a big deal, but throttle linkage will be a issue.


    #5

    careful to not bend the gas pedal, side drafts can be dangerously fun, resulting in extreme excitment for the user and uncontrollable mashing of the pedal for that sweet sound.:D

    i have very lil experience with EFI, dont care for it. but i kinda know whats different.


    you will also need a Synchrometer, both carbs have to be matched to the same air intake. and tuning 2 carbs or 4 barrells is not that easy, buy a book, and search here for "weber"

    Is there any particular reason you want to switch to carbs? I know a guy that switched to carbs and then decided he wanted to switch back to EFI.
