Converting the engine of a Ducati 750 SS Injection from fuel injection to a carburetor system and then mounting it on a Ducati Monster 750 (both from 1999) is technically possible, but it would involve several modifications and considerations. Here are some points to keep in mind:

  1. Fuel Delivery System: The 750 SS Injection model utilizes a fuel injection system, while the Monster 750 from the same year typically comes with carburetors. The fuel delivery systems are different, so you would need to replace the fuel injection components of the 750 SS engine with a compatible carburetor setup.

  2. Carburetor Conversion: Converting from fuel injection to a carburetor setup involves installing a suitable carburetor assembly, including the carburetors themselves, intake manifold, throttle cables, and associated components. You may need to modify or fabricate certain parts to ensure proper fitment and compatibility.

  3. Tuning and Jetting: Once the carburetors are installed, tuning and jetting will be necessary to optimize the air-fuel mixture for the specific engine and bike setup. Carburetion tuning can be complex and requires knowledge and experience to achieve optimal performance and reliability.

  4. Electrical System: The fuel injection system relies on various sensors, fuel pump, and an Engine Control Unit (ECU) to manage the fuel delivery. With a carburetor conversion, you may need to modify or bypass certain electrical components related to the fuel injection system.

  5. Compatibility and Fitment: Ensure that the Ducati 750 SS Injection engine is compatible with the Ducati Monster 750 frame and mounting points. Check for any potential fitment issues or modifications needed to make the engine fit properly.

It's important to note that modifying the engine in this way could have implications for emissions compliance, local regulations, and the overall performance and reliability of the motorcycle. It is recommended to consult with experienced Ducati mechanics or motorcycle customization specialists who can provide detailed guidance based on your specific goals and the technical feasibility of the project.
