EFI options  By  dakotafig (Read 883 times)

I thought MBE sold Ecotrons EFI kits . Yes it will cost a mint to get the hardware and take some time installing and may have to tinker with it some to get it right . My CFMoto Echarm came with Ducatti EFI and is my first small engine to have it . I must say it is better than a carb in every way , MPG , performance , and no having to adjust the idle or jetting . My scoot responses faster at any speed compared to all other 150s I have ridden . EFI is simple as it mostly a fuel pump , and nozzle and an ECU , compared to a carb with jets , needle and float . From 17 degrees to just over 100 it starts up first time and has the same idle speed regardless of the outside or engine temp . EFI is less likely to have problems beside the electric fuel pump going out , but if the ECU does it may be an expensive repair . You may want to to a stator upgrade to help power the pump or always use a trickle charger when you park it as I read a member does this .

I like how Ecotrons has great support from what I heard and a tune able ECU where mine is proprietary . I read where the Ecotrons you have set or not have a rev limit and adjust the timing , and have optional software but man it is expensive or at the the 2T stuff is . My scooter dealer has a Harley Road King with EFI he found a freeware that he used to tweak it to run a lil richer than factory . Both Ducatti dealers would not touch mine as I asked if they could raise the rev limit up 1,000 RPMS . I found some piggy back modules on Amazon but could not find any info in the scooter forums or elsewhere of one using a kit like that on a scooter like mine . I hope this summer to make enough doing outside work this spring and summer to buy the Ecotrons EFI kit with optional secondary injector for my 2T hot rod .

I would do more research as only a few of us had done this and it does cost too much to get and not be able to make it work . I think it will be worth the money and time in the long run . Let us know if you get a kit and how it goes .

I have the ecotrons kit on mine and Matt over there is great to work with I do recommend to up grade the charging system I have a write up over on Scooter Professor site under the same screen name I love the way it works

Where you at in Kansas if you need repair or upgrades bring it to me I'll put but a big bore kit on it includes carb rejetted tuned for 80 bucks labor.

Manhattan to be specific.

Thanks for the offer, I will keep that in mind depending in what I do moving forward, but I really do somewhat have my mind made up on EFI.

I could actually run mine all year around at the winter setting just would be slightly rich in the summer. After its tuned in correctly not much adjustment if any is needed. This year I changed the idle jet for easier starts since its a colder than normal winter. But if you jet the carb right you can run all year no issue. If you decide to keep a regular carb I'll tune it free to prove my point lol. If your scoot runs that much different from season to season it was jetted wrong from the start.

She is actually on the rich side, 120 main jet. I have no idea what the pilot jet is as it isn't marked, and the pilot jet is probably part of my problem.

EFI would solve everything pretty much for good though. Again, I would look at it as in investment as I would keep it on any bike I had, so I suppose that helps the price not feel so bad.

FYI there is a lot of work involved in getting an EFI set up on any one particular bike. You probably can move it from bike to bike, but it would definitely not be as easy as swapping out parts. Usually the EFI has to be programmed to the specific bike's setup, but of course this all depends upon the particular EFI system.
