    Default Re: 912 IS retrofit in Kitfox?

    Regarding a kit to add fuel injection to to a 912/914 -
    1. How much weight does it add, if any?
    2. Are there potential HOT start issues?
    3. What does it cost? (I agree that the $3500 figure is very reasonable)

    I know that the 912is seems to be considerably "busier" in the engine compartment, as well as heavier all up. I'm not sure you're going to see any increased power. Better fuel economy, yes, but I'd like to see legitimate testing results of any power claims.
