take it to a reputable shop,if you can't figure it out is my only suggestion.Thats alot of junk to mess with but not really hard to get rid of.As for the premix you can tap a hole in the two main runners of the intake manifold and make custom oil lines.

OK I'll start from the top. Nobody makes a throttle cable bracket, so you will have to make one. As for the OMP, your going to have to wire it open, or run premix. Premixing isnt that much of a pain in the ***, mine is my daily driver and I premix. Its better for the engine too.

You are also going to need a new fuel system. New pump and regulator. I'm not sure, but I believe the regulator has to be a return style regulator. I run one and its great.

You can fabricate one with a piece of aluminum like this one...



and you can also fabricate a link for the omp and the weber like I did..
