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
