FAQ:
- Q: How do I know if my Harley has Magneti Marelli EFI?A: If your bike is a 1995‑2001 Harley with throttle cables connecting to a black, rectangular throttle body, you have a Magneti Marelli EFI system.
- Q: Can I keep my stock gas tank? A: Yes. With the correct Pingel EFI‑to‑Carb fitting, your original tank works perfectly for this conversion.
- Q: Do I need to rewire my bike? A: Partially. The conversion eliminates the stock EFI harness—but you’ll enjoy a simpler, cleaner electrical setup afterward.
- Q: What carburetor works best? A: Most builders prefer the Mikuni HSR42 for optimal throttle response and tuning flexibility.
- Q: Why switch from EFI to carb? A: The original Magneti Marelli EFI was prone to failing sensors and poor idle control. Carburetors restore mechanical control, easier tuning, and long‑term reliability—perfect for riders who value independence over diagnostics.
