Small Engine EFI Conversion: Engine and Carburetor Reference

Converting a small engine from a carburetor to EFI starts with identifying the exact engine and intake hardware. The reference below collects engine, carburetor and throttle-body information from the original Löweheiser conversion article.

This is a historical starting point for a technical enquiry, not a verified compatibility or stock list. Model revisions, unknown entries and the complete installation must be checked before selecting components.

What to confirm before converting an engine

  • Engine model and revision, fuel and lubrication requirements.
  • Carburetor reference, mounting-hole spacing and actual intake dimensions.
  • Throttle-body clearance, actuation, fuel-system and electrical requirements.
  • Calibration and testing needed for the intended operating range.

A matching bolt pattern does not establish that an engine needs no other changes. See the Walbro and throttle-body dimensional reference for the difference between venturi and throttle bore.

Historical engine conversion references

Dimensions are reproduced from the original table and have not been independently re-measured in this update. A blank or unknown entry means that confirmation is required; it does not mean compatibility is established.

  1. Dear Sirs,
    we are interested in an EFI system for an UAV engine (DLE 60)
    Can you supply the complete EFI kit (throttle body, wiring, sensors, pump, etc.).
    Can you possibly send us an offer and technical documentation?

    Best regards

    Gaetano Caputo
