Odd. Carbs are simple to repair. And they don't need repair all the time, but yeah generally they may need attention more often than EFI. In addition, I have had to fix issues with injectors, electric fuel pumps, sensors, ground wires, gooped-up throttle bodies, etc. but none of those things on any carb'd equipment...

What have I ever had to do to carbs... seems the bulk of it was fooling with the chokes, which I generally dealt with by installing a manual choke or in the case of the '59, a choke delete. On occasion there will be a float that no longer floats. Sometimes I'll fiddle with the adjustment screws, or maybe clean some sediment from the bowl. That's pretty much it.
