Is it possible to convert the carb to fuel injection?

Sorry if this sounds newbish, but since people were always complaining about flooding and such, isnt there a way to convert the car into a fuel injected model to prevent this?

Really? I could have sworn I had read before that it wasnt, and was part of the reason why it flooded so much?

Hmm sorry for the ignorance on my part then...

Not only is it fuel injected, the flooding issue is largely a thing of the past and was never all that common on the Renesis engine to begin with. The more substantial starter and battery now installed winds it up faster which helps clear any excess fuel.

My dealorship still gets cars that are flooding and recently they flooded mine even though the flashes are up to date. I do not think flooding is a thing of the past unless the owner follows the recomendations in the manual. I t will occure if you do not properly warm up the enginre under some cercumsances before shutting it off.
