EFI to Carb on Icebear? Anyone done this conversion? By miser (Read 157 times)

Icebear Maximus - converting your EFI system into a carbureted system? Has anyone does this conversion and what is involved?

I spoke with Icebear directly and they said that you just eliminate the EFI, add a carb, change out the intake manifold and the coil and you should be all set. However, a VERY knowledgable dealer mentioned that a module, which is not in stock, is also needed to make this work. Just wondering which module needs replacing.

This is all to avoid the inevitable "overheating" (which is not overheating) problem that will either put the trike into limp mode or shut it down.

Another way would be to bypass the sensor altogether. Has anyone doe that?

Bottom line, how have you or your dealer fixed this problem? There are MANY on the road right now with no issues, so they were either fixed or they didn't have the problem. Looking for a solution so I can make it know to everyone.

Thanks!

is this the engine?

if it is, you want to find literature of that engine paired with a carb. compare that to literature of the fuel injection on a wire by wire basis. very good shop manuals and wiring diagrams will be your best friend here.
find out if the computer is involved in anything other than squirting fuel into the intake. if the computer is involved with shifting into reverse, then serious attention has to be given to find a substitute or workaround to address this issue. I doubt it does, but I don't know the vehicle. that is just one very important example. the more the computer is involved in, the more difficult this will probably be.

if this person who told you about this MODULE won't tell you more then you need to keep digging.

I take back what I said about not taking that vehicle to work. very nice vehicle. I'm actually jealous.
