But so have the benefits, which go far beyond cleaner air. Did you really enjoy adjusting ignition points and cleaning/replacing spark plugs every 10K miles or so? How about adjusting carburetors? When was the last time you had to crank & crank on a carbed engine to get it to start, instead of the first turn start of a modern EFI engine?
