Try and get all the fuel injection gear off a wrecked 900 honet.

Given that your prepared to spend x amount of dollars converting to a FI system, I'm sure my option one will seem a tiny outlay in comparison.

Good luck with it.
Damn ,Bordo!

How do you say what I want to say in 5 fewer paragraphs?

wow, thank you everyone for the input, it was a thought because i did hit a wall with the carbs, and like everyone has said, it will be easier to just clean these out and tey and fix them or replace them. im just upset becasue i spent the entire season working on this bike and taking to a shop ands dumped a few bills and nothing works still. that place really screwed me over and i dont know what to do about that. they still have my cam chain and tensioner!!!!!

Maybe you still have them and just don't know it ! If they can't produce the
replaced parts there's usually a fairly straight forward explanation for that !

He'd clearly had less to drink than you had Dave.

But hell, that was a good post.

If I ever have a desperate need for a philosopher, you are right at the top of my list mate.

They better have my stuff still! Or I'm going to be taking other actions. It's bad enough they help my motorcycle for 6 weeks and nothing got done. but if they think they will get away with taking thinks I bought, well they have another thing coming.

In the wise words of Mr will Ferrell, "gator don't play no $#!t"

Yeah, I forgot to mention the high pressure fuel pump. The newer direct injection systems are something like 24K to 34,000 psi, not something you want to open up unless you know what your doing, got to bleed it down first.

I was going to upgrade a Chevy I had from a 2.8L V6 to the newer 3.1L V6. The short blocks were the same but the bigger bore engine had different injectors, cams, valves and other stuff not to mention the computer and map. Just changing injected engine to injected engine turned out to be a headache so I didn't do it.

Wine tends to make me a little verbose

but back on topic. here's a set of '88 carbs for a decent price

Rebuild at your leisure and once done sell your originals

Those must be mislabeled they are not 88's they look 93 or newer.

If that's the case, good eye!

What's the tip-off?
