Do fuel injected motorcycles have carbs?
Carburetors are your old-school, analog option, and they’re what all bikes relied on until electronic fuel injection began to appear in the ’80s. Nowadays, the vast majority of bikes have EFI, though plenty of smaller motorcycles and scooters still use carbs to help keep them affordable.
What makes more power EFI or carb?
Warren Johnson: Properly tuned, carburetors make more peak power than EFI in a Pro Stock engine. But EFI has a broader powerband and superior cylinder-to-cylinder fuel distribution. The 1,100- to 1,300-cfm dual carbs are good only over a narrow range, about 1,500 rpm at most. EFI performs well over 2,000 rpm or more.
What kind of carburetor do I need for an Evo?
Carburetor of your choice with matching EVO-style manifold and fuel hose The Desperados know about “air-flow” and therefore decide to employ a S&S Super-B carburetor, but you can also use a Mikuni HSR42, Keihin CV, Bendix, Super-E or -G, Edelbrock, SU (from Mr. Magnet)… whatever carb.
Why does my Evo keep missing the CARB?
It starts fine (kick only) and idles well, usually it even runs fine if you are using very little throttle, although I seem to feel a little surging even then. When you go to give it some throttle though, it starts spitting back through the carb and missing. Especially under a heavy load, like riding up a hill.
Can you change a carburetor to fuel injection motorcycle?
Modern motorcycles have computer controlled fuel injectors. You can also convert an older motorcycle into a fuel injection system with motorcycle fuel injection conversion kits. If you prefer, you can convert from carbureted to fuel injection (otherwise known as carb to efi).
How to upgrade EFI to carburetor on 2005 twincam?
Two Desperados (who’s names don’t serve the issue) with the mission to save the knowledge of classic motorcycling will guide you through this illustrated guide of performance recovery. This instruction is done on a 2005 model TwinCam Harley®, but it is basically the same for later models.

Can a carburetor be converted to EFI?
Rick decided to do a full electronic fuel injection (EFI) to carburetor conversion on Chola. Yah, this is not something you hear about being done very often, but it can be and is done on occasion.
