Not a bad idea Coffey! Were it my personal machine I would probably do that. However, being a customer's machine and they have a multitude of different people that might be running it my guess is they'll probably want it to work properly to avoid liability issues. Not to mention it might come...

(EMI Filter and ECU are on left side bolted to the rear of the block below the fuel filters. EMI Filter is the smaller black box with two, threaded, two pin...
