(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) does anyone have a suggestion for replacing the stock mechanical fuel injection system with a modern EFI - don't want to go to carbs. Preference would be to end up with a complete, programable engine management system - including ignition - any suggestions?

I plan to look that over also, but the clearance SDS wants to the hall sensor is mighty tight, on the order of 2-3mm as I would recall, so the mounting of the sensor might be interesting, in terms of finding a small, flat area. The mounting on the pulley has several advantages, mostly being that the pulley and fan shroud can be moved easily from one long block to another, where as if the flywheel is worn below tolerances and needs re-surfacing, you'd need to re-mount the mags all over again on the replacement flywheel. Not the worst job in the world, but I'd rather do it once than twice. Also, I'm not sure which area would be "cleaner", such that there would be less possibility of oil/dirt/stuff getting on or fouling the sensor.
Any thoughts? |

A Hall sensor is magnetic (well, uses a magnetic field...it ain't optical). 2-3mm distance, with accumulated debris, won't affect the sensor. That distance alone kinda helps everything "self clean" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
