    It's something that you can do, buddy has a 98 EFI Cop King that now has a 113 el bruto from EFI to Carb.

    Gas tank will need to be changed, you need a fuel petcock, or you will have to find a conversion petcock from EFI to fuel, remove the fuel pump and hoses from the inside.

    ECM, remove it, you will need a new igintion module, one in the nose cone for an evo works, you'll have to wire it to the coil, and into the harness.

    Any and all EFI sensor connections will need to be wired to work with the
    new ignition.

    Easy way is to find a wrecked RK that was a carb and buy the harness.

    Lot of work,

    Why change...

    Nuttin better than a carbed Evo ... A look at a Parts Catalog will show you the sub harness's you need to switch, and the wiring that gotta be undone. You can get adapters for fuel tank, but you are better off switching tanks and going gravity fed fuel and electronic ignition...

    I still suggest you find or buy a carb main harness. It makes life easier vs train to cut out what you won't need

    The connecting harnesses for turn signal lights dash controls will hook right up to the carb main harness

    I wasn't suggesting anything different,I thought the motor harness was a sub off the main

    The engine in my basket case was EFI when made in 2002.When I bought it someone changed it back to a carb.And I had to buy a wiring harness for it and the differance between EFI and carb is quite abit of money.EFI being more.Don't cut anything swap them out.
