Hello!
I've got a mate who's thinking about converting his old 'Condor' single-pot 350 to efi. It's a 6V system and we want to keep the old dear fairly original looking.
Will a microsquirt (or megasquirt) run OK from 6V?
It'd be a ripper little machine with decent fueling since the carby is worn out. Any small fuel pumps and injectors to suggest?

No, so I think you'll need a DC-DC converter, which introduces it's own problems, and then you got more amps going through the system. I'd be tempted to adapt a 12V system to suit, if you really want to do this successfully. My 2¢wagon wrote:Will a microsquirt (or megasquirt) run OK from 6V? ...
Re: Microsquirt on a 6V system
Frankly, I don't know any 6V motorbike alternator with much more than about 60W power which will be way too weak to drive the Microsquirt, fuel pump and injector(s). You'll probably need to upgrade your generator first.
