I've heard of serval people that have changed over to carbs and were NOT happy, some have changed back to FI.
Couldn't agree more! My dad bought a '76 new from the dealer when I was but a wee lad. About 10 years later some monkey talked him into switching to a carb. This guy didn't know squat about FI. He also was the one selling the carb. Never ran right after that. Well I now have the bus and it has been switched back to the original FI. Runs like a champ!! I RARELY have to mess with it. I drive it to work daily. Just get in and she starts right up.
My opinion: NO ON IN THEIR RIGHT MIND SHOULD SWITCH FROM FI TO CARBURATOR ON A TYPE 2 ENGINE!!! (unless they are racing with it) Fix the FI and you will get your money's worth in the long run.
