The incredible fuel mileage my Monkey has delivered is making me a believer in this newfangled fuel injection thingie. I've been studying everything I can find about PGM-FI in an effort to understand how it works even if I can't fix it.
It may not allow the same degree of makeshift fixes as a carburettor, but it's no rocket-science either.

One cool thing about the new CT is that it'll run without a battery
That's an interesting feature.

A kicker is one thing I'd like to add to the Monkey but I hope I don't have to take the motor that far down for a long, long time.
It's not so hard at all, unless the lower block design has changed when PGM-FI got introduced.
