Youll be starting a much bigger project by switching to a carb, alot of experimentation, jetting and setting up await you... once the FI is fixed its Done... boom! all over with and running perfectly, just stay in the mindset that its the simplest electronic system out there. Webers are a poor choice... the progressive is downright mistake. Its a carb that came off a Pinto... remember how poorly they ran? anywho the progressives overcarburate our little engines and mask mixture problems in doing so, they cut engine life roughly in half.
