There are solutions to help with the problems seen with carburetors and those problems can be mitigated. Most new EFI engines will run fine with ethanol blended fuels and benefit from the higher octane and cleaner emissions. I see little or no downside. Carbureted engines are a tiny fraction of the engines in use today.....and shrinking.
    Cant help yourself CN can you?

    Id still guess that carbs are still ahead of EFI in terms of representation in the collector car hobby, if you counted all running hobby cars.

    BTW, NASCAR ran carbs through 2012.

    So when can I expect to see an EFI weedwhacker? Seems the tiny carburated motor hates corn, and since carbs are on the way out.....
