What carburetor woes? I replaced the TBI on my daily driver with a carb and haven't touched it for 20 years. Still starts and runs perfectly - no bog, no hesitation, no cold start difficulty, etc. I changed my plugs the other day; they were still a nice light brown color. And if my carb ever does need tuning, all it takes is a screwdriver instead of some computerized tuning module bouncing around in the glovebox and getting lost. No TPS, no O2 sensor, no external wiring, no high-pressure lines required. Maybe someday my carb will need a rebuild...that should take almost until lunchtime. But I can afford lots of lunches with the $1000 I saved over an aftermarket EFI system.
Lots of misconceptions out there. Silly kids today are as mystified by carbs as oldsters are by EFI.
