That's really impressive.

BTW, we do it the other way around in Metric. Rather than km per litre, we calculate how many litres it takes to travel 100km. In your case, it would be 3.18L / 100km.

It's like saying it takes you 0.81 gallons to travel 60 miles. Another way to consider it is 0.81 gallons per hour on the highway. In those terms, it makes it easy to quantify the cost of travel.

Kinda off topic. But my 13 accent did it km per litre traded that for a 13 escape and it does it litre per 100 k

Good for you. The Antigravity Microstart is the bee's knees. I recommended one to FastDoc last year.

http://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=13288

I wish FastDoc would return to these forums, and give us an update on his Microstart. I miss him, but I understand he is very busy with his new job.

This has been setting on my toolbox at work for months . The shop owner bought one for every autotech there . Sold to him by interstate battery ,who stocks our batteries . I was actually sitting there at my toolbox looking on ebay for a usb to install on the bike ,when I realized the answer was sitting right there .

What an interesting and informative thread. Thanks for posting.

I'm just starting out on this journey to acquiring one of these EFI systems for my little zong 200 powered racing sidecar.

I had found the system on TB but was fairly worried that so much information needed to be passed between buyer and seller to get the set up right and that if going through TB trends some things would be missed. Its great to see you have purchased direct from FAI and are getting good support, this has surely got to be the way to go

For my purposes I'm not even slightly concerned about efficiency, only power, usable ride-able power that is and this seems to tick the right boxes.

How has your system been in regular use?

Thanks for the pm The more I read about this the more I like it. The whole system will be easily covered by selling some of these carbs I have sat here.

Did you say somewhere that the venturi was 28mm? or did I read that somwhere else

Yes it did measure 28mm . I was using a 30mm carb . Injection still makes more power , the carb made good power with the advanced timing also.

Ah cool, My TMX carb is a 28 I think but was going try try up to a 32mm. The problem with that being the intake tract on the engine is only 28mm so would need considering at the same time.

Progress is being made thanks Ron, slightly confused sometimes by Mr. Yang but on the whole he is pretty understandable.
