I believe my engine originaly came with fuel injection but the previous owner changed to the Weber, which is a very good idea in my opinion. Lot's more reliable. No heat risers though so it's a little slow to warm up when it's cold (it was a Colorado bus so I'm surprised he chose this set up).. No problems after I get past the first stop sign in my neighborhood, it handles the Texas winter really well...I imagine if it was a lot colder it'd be a hasle. Gives lots of power too, and decent fuel mileage as long as you don't slam it to the floor all the time haha.

When I had that setup on my bug vert I could get 28-32 miles per gallon if I drove conservatively. If I was playing then it didn't get as good of mileage. What you give up in mileage is well worth what you gain in power. Just my opinion.

What are you driving? What engine? I had one on my bus, I have a1700 Type IV engine. It worked fine, but I wanted to go back to dual carbs like it had origianally. So if you want tor try, I have one here in Abilene I will sell ya! Ed Maikranz Abilene TX 75(?)
