Sorry it took so long to get back to you on this...we live in Tulsa Oklahoma. After reading your reply I started thinking about replacing the carbs with a FI setup. There are several on TheSamba.com and are very affordable. Might consider going to FI instead of replacing the carbs....not sure what "complete" FI system means to some people (that are selling FI stuff) - I don't know enough about the pieces/parts that are required.

Bay window concerns / 78 2.0L air cooled fuel pump question

« on: April 05, 2009, 12:12:09 PM »

My wife and I just bought a 1978 Westy Camper - 2.0 liter pancake. The bus was originally fuel injected but was converted at some point to dual webbers. The fuel line from the fuel pump goes to what looks like is a homemade fuel regulator valve then to a y adapter and then a seperate fuel line to each carb. I have been told that the fuel injected fuel pumps put out more fuel pressure and that the "regulator: was put inline to reduce the fuel pressure to the carbs. #1) Is this a true statement and #2) can I replace the fuel punp with a pump from a carb model...and if so what fuel pump should I look for? When you start the bus the right carb dumps fuel into the motor...I was thinking of taking the dual carbs off and running 1 progressive instead. The previous owner said it is too difficult to keeps the dual carbs syncro'd - any ideas?
