EFI or Carb

I started this post on another forum and the results where interesting. The Question is do you like EFI or carb setup on your rig. Please tells us reason for your choice.

I would go injected if I could. Better econamy, responce, no flat spots and any angle.

Plus its eayer to replaced a faulty injector vs rebuilding a carb.

X2 all the way... carbs just don't stack up against Fuel Injection especially in the offer camber positions that are a part of our hobby.

Are injectors without problems? Nope, but they are more reliable for a longer period than a carb.

Other than my upcoming bike purchase... there will be no more carbs in my future if I can help it.

Overall, EFI is the better setup for off-road applications but if your carb runs well right now and there's no complaints, then I don't see a need to replace it until it goes bad.

I can tell ya all about EFI.. I built mine.. I love it. Power, drive-ability, economy and tune-ability.. as well as angles and cant forget altitudes.. I doesn't matter where your at never floods or leans out..

For those that are willing to go the inexpensive rout, try a MegaSquirt... Very compatible with a Sammy.. About 450 for an already built ECU.

EFI for consistency and carbs for simplicity

The only problem with propane, is the mileage.. the is a 10-20% drop in thermal efficiency. Another words it take about 10-20% more fuel to the same work as Gasoline. the advantage is one can have 10-1 pistons and still have a turbo. or run14 -1 compression. it does run cleaner, it is simple, and is very drivable.
