Hideously complex, but when working properly one of the most trouble free carburetor setups ever, because it tries so hard to mimic fuel injection. To start my '87 CRX it's just one pump of the pedal to tell the carb to choke and fast idle, and just turn the key. It can even adjust the fuel ratio to some extent, with an 02 sensor... if it wasn't a California model like mine -sigh-

All hell breaks loose when vacuum lines fall apart and obsolete "computers" start to malfunction, however.

[...] But the man who creates the music is hearing something else, is dealing with the roar rising from the void and imposing order on it as it hits the air. What is evoked in him, then, is of another order, more terrible because it has no words, and triumphant, too, for the same reason. And his triumph, when he triumphs, is ours." -Sonny's Blues
