So if these things called a carb are so great, why again is no one makeing them for cars today? EFI was the government's way of forcing automakers to clean up engines. The results?......ability to auto-tune itself, easier starting and initial running (aka open loop mode), much much better gas mileage, superior cleanliness unrivaled with carb, smoother idle, and much longer engine life. Carbs are for people that give up on technology and don't know what they are dealing with, so they go the easy way out. All it takes for a real understanding of EFI is knowing all the major sensors and operation of the are, what makes en EFI run the way it does and how a computer will interpret these signals from the sensors, and a good ohm/voltmeter. I used to own a couple carb'd cars and they were agravating as anything in the mornings and are worse in rain and terrible in winter.
Also, if your typical carb is so great, tell me why the outside cylinders ALWAYS run lean or the inner cylinders run too rich in response to trying to fix the problem of the cylinders on the outside? Bet you didn't know about that one, if you don't believe me, take a look at the manifold and tell me where the carb stack sits in relation to the length of it? A carb is a crude device when you really study it and is seriously inferrior to fuel injection if you understand both of them fairly well. They both get the job done yes, but carbs are a very old technology that was ditched for many reasons.
