After Much Deliberation

This is true in the way that I am always looking to improve what is that I have. It isn't true in the sense that I just don't up and change things just for the sake of changing them. When I change something it is derived from a perceived necessity. Best thing about this is that it won't happen until the 117 is ready to go in or shortly before.

Gotta agree with the guys saying stay with a carb...the Delphi EFI may be a better system,but the maintenance is a heck of a lot more costly if you need to replace a regulator and filter or injector...pumps aren't too bad in price...(not to mention the cost of conversion)..if you're thinking of going EFI route because the CV51 is obsolete... SNS G and Mikey Rooney 48 are really good carbs and a lot cheaper to tune...and not hard at all....Seat of the pants you're not going to feel much of a difference, if any, to a well tuned carb and an EFI system JMHO...Maybe your wallet will still be thicker in your pocket if you stay carb and you save a lotta work....

Yeah, you are . I know a few bikers that have converted back to a carb LOL.

Yeah,I was thinking that too...a Super E or 45 Mik would give better throttle response and drive ability for a street/touring bike,but I don't know how big he's going with the engine and how much head work...The G and 48 would be more suited to a max effort top end big inch motor...
If I don't get this damn EFI straightened out on mine soon I can see a S&S E and an IST going in... lol

Now you're cooking!

LOL...But I'm a stubborn old mule...maybe it just needs a good kick!!

I wouldn't kick mine - it might fall over .

I have thought pretty hard about what everyone here had to say and also on HTT. I came to the conclusion that I am going to stay with a carb system. And that I will consider an S&S with one thunder jet installed.

Look at all the old boys on here and see if they are still running carbs.

Nope.

They are running EFI systems on newer bikes.

Laser I remember he test drove a new bike.
Just know I'm never going backwards to a car bed bike.
They quit making them.

They quit making lots of perfectly good stuff to make way for new ideas. Gotta keep those engineers employed. Maybe he should convert to ABS and modernize the braking instead of the EFI swap? Just stirrin' $%#@up...

Just like they quit making carbed cars.
They Polute more. Like letting raw fuel out without as much burn.
And its easier to hook up a computer to a EFI and adjust everything.
Than to take the carb apart and adjust it.

If all you did was RACE. I might agree with you. But over all.
EFI is the way to go.

Just like on the newer bikes and cars. Electronic drive is nicer than cable drive.

They outlawed carbs on boat motors much earlier than motorcycles.
If you sit and watch a carbed boat motor run, you can see raw gas get blew out into the water. You don't see that with efi .

You can stay in the past and get left behind. Or you can come forward to the new technology.

Look people used to die from TB. As time went on they found a cure for it.

Yeah, overall EFI is better for reliability and cleanliness. I use my bike as a toy to blow off stress, so the carb does not bother me too much. I like my cars fuel injected, start better in the cold, warm up quicker, and no smells like you used to get on the old motors. Just messin with ya.
