Hi Mick, Yeah I reckon the factory EFI system is pretty good. I DIDhave it running very well, more economical, better driveability, revving cleaner, but found that it had a vacuum leak at the manifold to head interface. So I thought that once fixed it should run even better. However now its fixed and has no leaks its running far worse, and comparable to the old 32/36 downdraft weber setup :(
So now it seems to be defying logic and its a case of playing around with settings to try and get it running back to its former self :) Andrew > Hi Andrew > How does the EFI system stack up do u think? > Is it more economical?
