That's the second suggestion to convert the 82 to carb I have received,
I haven't even thought of that before and I even remember how to work on
carbs. I agree that if want to stay with the stock engine then I should
just get my local mechanic to fix the FI problemt. That would solve the
FI problems but it still would not get me the power and reliabliltiy
that I would get if I converted to a a more modern engine.

How hard would it be to carb the 82? No FI probs then ;-)

Just from my experience, you have had this one for 11 years...you know
more about it than the other somewhat unknown quantity. It would be
worth paying someone which would never come in the lines of 4500 bucks
to figure out your FI problem. Heck, couldn't a whole new system be put
in for 4500!??!

Go with what you know...that's what I say...
