1993 Rotax engined ATK 604 EFI, made for the Colorado 500 where elevation changes were on a grand scale.
They ran perefectly from sea leval to 10,000ft with no need of Jet changing...

Mind you, my 560 lump with 34mm dellorto ran over the Atlas mountains (3000m) without a hitch...

I may have some of my old R6 fuel parts if you're requiring an external pump or whatever.

Gary, I wish you would stop saying Mikuni as my brain keeps reading it as Mankini. :lol:

What software are you using and how many probes do you use?? I wouldn't mind making/investing in the probes but the software I haven't a clue. I have a good quality Pico scope as well as a Lab scope and the usual tuning tools. I would like to try fitting fuel injection on my standard 350. However at the same time I don't really want to re-invent the wheel. So any advice gratefully received, and of course I'm happy to share any knowledge I gain with all :-)

Ta,
