ok, I know the carb is junk. 81 has a comp?!? We disconnected most vacuum already. Would like a no-feedback carb. And if SC ever had emmisions testing, bicycle sales would go thru the roof!

Yes some California Equipped 300-I6s had diagnostic computers in 1981.

Look in my gallery.

Some high altitude models in this timeframe also had feedback carbs and computers for better drivability in high altitudes. Adjust on the fly fuel/air ratios etc... Dont know much about those systems however. Just remember seeing and reading it somewhere.
