A carbureted engine without sophisticated electronic mixture controls capable of adjusting the fuel mixture in a VERY narrow band of operating range (0.5 volts +/- 0.2 volt on an O2 sensor) several times a second CANNOT run a catalytic converter. The converter will experience a catastrophic meltdown within a very short time span.

Is that beck on topic sufficiently?
