I know they can be made to work well I'm just giving you crap. They remind me of a toilet bowl that flushes gas down the intake when you push the gas!

if you find somebody who can actually tune a carb correctly you would be suprised on the gas mileage you can get under normal driving conditions... being able to finely tune a carb is a art, and its a dying one.. many people can tune it to 90% but there are only a few people who can get it to 100 (most of them are old and shakey)

EFI is a breeze compared to carbs...
