Re: [T2] fi to carbs on 78 2.0l?



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.
