Dude--

You are going to be so happy you did this. If you were in NC I could
have your stock FI system back on in an hour, perhaps two, and that ol'
timey carburetor smashed into small shiny bits ready for use as fishing
lures, or earrings, or shell casings.

It is really straightforward. No fear. If you need pics of EXACTLY what
it should look like (stock) installed let me know.

Did I tell you that you will be sooooooo happy.

Subject: Going back to fuel injection...

My '81 Transporter came equipped with a Weber progressive conversion
which
(as many of you predicted) I've never been able to iron all the kinks
out
of. I've failed miserably in trying to get the timing right; if I back
it
off so that it doesn't  "diesel" in hot weather, it won't idle right and
it
bogs on acceleration. If I bump it up so it idles and drives correctly,
it
diesels and wants lots of premium-grade fuel. The rest of the time, it's
generally too lean at idle and too rich under throttle. All in all, a
major
PITA for a daily driver.

So, I'm taking good (so I hope) advice and returning it to the factory
fuel
injection setup. I've purchased a complete used system from the PO, (the
one
that actually came off my bus) with a new fuel pump, seals and relay,
but
I'm really not sure what I'm in for here. I've got the Bentley manual,
but
I'd really like to know from someone who's done it. What am I in for
here?
What sort of special tools will this require? What kind of time
committment
am I looking at? I have a trip scheduled for the third weekend in
September;
assuming I get started this weekend, should I try to get it done before
then, or should I wait until I get back? Am I psyching myself out here?
Sorry for all the questions, but the prospect of refitting the entire
fuel
system is a little scary at this point. TIA-

JJ
