A few questions for anyone out there knowledgeable with this system. From my reading I have found that:

- Protec w/carb you can convert to conventional distributor and be fine

- Protec w/EFI you are screwed if the Protec system goes out and have to convert to carb and distributor.

I talked with Vince at Skidim on 10/06/2015 and he said there are no parts available anymore for these systems (even EFI which they were hoarding parts for). Being the engineer that I am, I can't understand why there isn't a way to run the TBI setup with a conventional distributor. I found a thread over on the Nautique forum that said there is only one wire that goes between the Protec module and the fuel injection module. (See post #10)

From another thread I found it appears that this wire might be the tachometer wire. Below photo #5 it talks about the tach wiring.

If this is true, what is keeping someone from tapping into the tach signal from a distributor and retaining the TBI setup? I may be way off base here, but I'm just writing down my thoughts.
