Ok, so a bit ago I posted about my Vanagon Westy that caught fire,
looking for parts.  Several people suggested I look at going to a
carburetor instead of trying to rebuild the fuel injection system.
Has anyone done this?  What sort of results?  What are the pitfalls?
I live in a county that does not require emissions, so that is not an
issue, but what else is there?  I assume I will need a new intake
manifold - is this true?  One person suggested one carb for each side
- is that really needed?

I am going to do some further research, of course, but if any experts
out there have played with this, or done it,. I would be glad to hear
of the experience.

Technical specs - '80 Westy, air cooled (duh), non-California model.

Thanks,

David.
