Title: 04 Ti with carbs
Post by: ratguzzi on September 01, 2018, 02:33:52 PM

I have tried many a map on EVs, Stones, etc and very hard to get over 42 mpg. Got tired of it so like my EV powered loop, I put on 36mm pumpers on the Ti.
MG Cycle sells all you need, manifolds, cables, starter switch, etc. Runs perfect and if it's anything like the EV motor, I will be seeing over 50mpg constantly.
Main problem is the later Tontis have an extra piece of frame that bolts to the top of the trans and I had to cut off the left side so the air filter would fit.

Hey John, thats a cool conversion! Does it run any better/faster with the carbs?
I am currently trying to sort a running issue with the fuel injection /TPS on my 03 aluminum, so this is very interesting to me. Looking forward to your reports coming up. :popcorn: :popcorn:

Hard to tell on the performance. Runs good and crisp straight out of the box. I had to sync the cables and play with the idles screws but runs smooth as silk.
I used the stock ignition and ECU, just unplugged all the injection stuff. New switch is obvious and easy to wire in.
See the T3 floor boards, tank and seat?

Well :embarrassed: :shocked: I was under the impression that it couldn't be done or I would have done it years ago.
