Hi Rick, Yep Ive had the factory L18 setup including computer working for about a fortnight and its great. It starts (and stops) first go regardless of temperature, has a consistent and smooth idle, revs cleanly and seems quite fuel efficient. After some troubleshooting, the initial difference from the 32/36 weber was quite amazing. And all with the primitive factory ECU. Well worth the hassle of decyphering how it all worked. Dont think Ill bother with a conversion as I quite like the authenticity of sticking with the L series but with a more modern but factory induction system. Youll have to have a squiz next time youre in Melb.
