    Hey guys,

    Anyone have a full carb setup from a smr for sale? I have a 08 smr450 and the fuel injection system is nothing but problems for me. Has anyone ever done this? Any input is much appreciated!

    I have not done it, but can't see why it can't be done. You will need to swap the entire ignition system to include the stator and flywheel, CDI, and the associated wiring.

    Carb of course. Not sure if the cables and air boots are the same, I think it's likely some may be the same. You can check the parts fiche.

    I'm wondering if you could keep the electronics the same... and just use the FI's ignition timing. if the carb has TPS maybe it could incorporate that too.

    The FI flywheel has trigger teeth on the outside. The carb model only has a single trigger on it. I guess its possible to run the FI electronics and just swap the carb.
