i have been wanting to change the fuel injection on the bus for a while ,and now the engine has blown up i feel its time to sell the efi parts and go back to something i can understand (when i say understand i mean find someone who could fix an old efi bus )
so i have an offer of some down draft webbers with all the do dads to go on a type 4 ,anyone have anything good or bad to say about them? before i do some damage with the pay pal LOL

you're talking my language now. i had a 79, fuel injected, but i never had a problem with the injection system.
your bus is a 2.0 liter correct? personally i'm a dellorto fan, they flow so much better then webers but are getting harder to find.
they are progressive 2 barrels i assume, hence the 34/36? what year is your bus? does it have "d" port heads? those can be a pain to find manifolds for.
it is a 1976 westy 2.0 i have no idea what heads are on it i have all the manifolds and parts to install so i am keeping my fingers crossed .
im hoping the electrical ground fault will disappear with the efi fuel pump and distributor as its a pain to have to disconnect the battery all the time .
this is a large spark so i figure it has to be the ignition so as soon as i pull the b rain and all the entrails the sale of the parts will pay a big part of the rebuild . the EFI parts are silly money i think used resale is about $600.

Paul,
Are you saying you have the manifolds to run the weber and just need the carb? if so I have a super clean 32/36 dfav with an electric choke that has your name on it!

I got my ESC wet (found that it was missing a screw from the factory) and it died. I was thinking about getting the SC700 ESC since its water resistant. Are they any good or should I just go with a different brand ? I was looking at the Novak Havoc...

For the price, the sc700 is decent, but IMO it's a big pain to program, listening for the beeps. Once, a friend of mine turned on his b4.1 and this esc got into programming mode. The car went crazy!
Probably his fault, though.
3 escs whats good / bad need to buy soon .. traxxas vxl ,ae 700 with 4900, and castle with 5700 (or 4600) PLEASE HELP WHATS BEST AND WHY? WHAT HAS LEAST PROBLEMS AND IS EASY TO SETUP? WHAT TAKES MOST ABUSE?

This is a great story. I did the same thing about 5 years ago. I got a complete Optima belt drive system and a few NIP parts. Mostly got a bunch of used chassis and gearbox parts along with some stuff that I still can't figure out what they are.
