Have you asked Diamond Hell or Dannyp about the wiring? Chances are they can tell you exactly what needs to be done to get the ABF going :wink:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

there was something about a loom rocking up for this one at some point.

but yup you can can run an ABF on bike carbs.  90% of the conversions i've seen done have all been crap tho as ppl stop tuneing as soon as it runs and never bother to sync the carbs properly or jet them right. the result been 8valves can bully them on the track.  set them rigth it'll go tho tad thirsty tho

all the VW's have gone bar 1.
