Is that some different center nut cover in the air cleaner too?  And a vent line hanging off the heads down to the ground rather than in to the breather.

Scooter is saying the fuel injection has been removed and replaced by a carburetor.  He blew the images up bigger than I didn't.

It seems like going from fuel injection to carburetor would be a big downgrade right?

Some people just like carbs.  Some people had problems with the Marelli injection systems.  Some just like carbs....

Maybe we can't tune the FI systems in the garage like we used to our carbs.  But I don't miss not having to carry a spare carb or jets to to over the mountains.  And I don't miss the carb everytime the bike just starts when the weather is cold.  I'm a fuel injection fan.

Si y No 
          As Twolane pointed out, carbs are sensitive to altiude, but at the time this bike was sold, EFI technology was not what it is today. There were very few shops doing performance work with EFI and fewer still parts available. My guess would be that there's been more done to this motor than meets the eye. Hindsight is 20/20 obviously and in hindsight, it would be better had the change not been made. As I said however, my guess would be the owner who change to a carb wanted more than he could get with what was available in the EFI marketplace at that time.

I would advise anyone looking to buy an B/W/O 00 SERG to pass on this one.

Since you've already bought it, I have good news and bad news for you.

The good news is there has been an explosion of EFI Technology since this bike was orginally sold, so returning it to stock condition or Hi-Po EFI isn't a problem

The bad news is it costs money.

Ride it the way it is till something breaks. Make your decision what to do then at that time.

Good luck, it's still a sweet looking ride.
