i like the idea, but why would you go from FI, a more efficient system, to a carburetor? a carb is an ancient system compared to EFI. no disrespect, im just curious.

Wow...hows that done...considering i can get an 8 gal tank of propane for $15 and 8 gal of gas cost $35....I wanna switch...even if it takes 10-14gal of propane to go as far as 8 gal of gas...i'd still be making out great, and prob save some money on oil changes.

crazy? definitely... retarded? no.

learn how to have polite and intelligent conversations or leave and go over to Pirate.

and I've decided that it's not really worth the trouble.

8 gallons of propane at 2 mpg or 8 gallons of gas at 20 mpg. You do the math. Propane sucks.
