Re: [T3] The Virgin


No it's not that bad.  I run both; 1600E Fastback, and 1600A Variant
(Squareback).  The FI gives me more pleasure and response; the
Variant gives better economy, but has that special throaty sound
(not really an induction roar!) of the stock Solexes.

As warned though, if it's a blocked gauze in the tank, expect the
same problems trying to keep a carb set-up running!  Generally, the
problems with FI are more easily rectified, usually being poor
electrical contacts or air-leaks into the induction side.  Worn
carbs are costly to replace or have renovated, too.
