You know...I've wondered the same thing. I have an old Toro lawn mower that
I use for odd jobs around the house. I think it was made in '75 or there
abouts. Anway, It's a bit finicky to get started...easy to flood and really
touchy to adjust the choke right. I'm sure most would call me crazy, but I
think it would be a fun project to build a FI system for it.

Sorry...I don't really have any info or links...just moral support.

Hello,

I would like to know if anyone has ever tried to implement a FI system
for use on a small lawn mower engine. What would be involved in doing
this and would it work? Are there any DIY sites that discuss this or
are plans available? Any other good references? Thanks a bunch.

I have contemplated this for a long time, but have never gotten around
to actually DOING it. I have always wanted to build my own fuel
injection system. I was thinking of injecting my VW dune buggy.
Maybe get real crazy and turbo it someday(but I doubt it).
I was on the SAE formula team in college. We modified a Haltech(I
think?) injection system to run a bike motor. It worked fairly well.
The engine controls has always been a cool idea to me. I want to do
it, just to do it. If I had a serious application I would buy one of
the generic off-the-shelf packages available out there, like what have
been suggested. A co-worker has the megasquirt system on his Audi
turbo. Currently, just using it for spark control I believe, and
waiting to tie in the fuel.
