Yeah, buy a GSL-SE. Or buy a GSL-SE fuel tank, engine, ECU, wiring harness, etc.

To convert a carbed motor to EFI:

Whole kit:

Throttle body only:

You still have to know how to set it up and tune it, though.

MPG wise a stock clean Nikki on a 12a is bout as good as it get's.

The FI system is built for more flow / bigger engine (13b).

Seriously, though, if it's not just running super pig rich like Vashner says, just have Sterling rebuild it for you.
