Re: my carburettor seeks freedom from its computer control (electronic enslavement)

you won't get any better info unless you find someone who has played with your particular carb in this fashion. I have disabled all sorts of feedback stuff on carbs thru the years....with varying success.

But, its a good thing your cat is already gone. Because this type of "playing" is a good way to start fires. Since you don't seem to have any data collection to watch how what you do changes what, as far as drivability goes, you're basically taking a big huge guess on many of the component changes.

So here's a very detailed answer that would help greatly: get a wbo2

Re: my carburettor seeks freedom from its computer control (electronic enslavement)

I know I "asked some general questions". And I may have overdone it a bit with the bananas. I've a small problem when it comes to asking a specific question. If you've not seen from my posts, I'll use 100 words when 10 would suffice. (My brother says me posting a question/response is akin to "writing a book"). And it's often mostly filler. Not necessarily pertinent information. Therefore, I suppose I ought expect the wind to blow some chaff my way along the wheat. Especially so great a wind as the Internet. As stated by Moppie, that's "exactly what Internet forums are great at." I also may have responded a bit too personally at times. I'm new at this. I could've/should've let some things slide rather than striking back. Plenty of good ideas, I needn't be quite so selective in what I consider, 'least not so vocally.

Thank you all for an informative and educational discussion.
When I dive in, and get my damn bananas, I'll let you all know.
I expect it to be a delicious success.

Re: my carburettor seeks freedom from its computer control (electronic enslavement)

To get rid of the computer control means you'll have to re-jet the carb. I've drilled out jets to get bigger, and soldered and redrilled to get them smaller. You can buy a bunch of spark plugs to read how your mixture is (just 1 new plug at a time)
Or you can put an older non-computer carb on. I've used a chunk of mahogany to build an adapter plate. It's a dimensionally stable wood so it won't wrap / leak when you're done. You might need an asbestos-type insulator gasket. Since all carbs give an idle circuit, and tried for a proper mixture, just get one close to the right CFMs, and it will work OK. It's easier to get a slightly smaller carb to work than a carb that's too big. I find getting the linkages to work the biggest problem.
Good luck
