The King Venturi is Dead--Long live the Venturi!

If you are an electrical guy, then EFI appeals to your sense of simplicity and logic as a good solution that is easy to control.

If you are a mechanical guy, then carburetors appeal to your sense of design as a clever and beautiful solution in a compact package.

i like, use, and repair both types of systems. Both systems use circuits to route input information and control output response: EFI is obviously electron circuits; Carburetors have air, fuel and mixture circuit paths. EFI uses resistors, capacitors and inductors to regulate and control electrical currents, Carburetors use precision orifice holes and needles in tubes to meter out the fuel mixture.

But i love working on carburetors. There is an immense satisfaction from perfectly tuning a rack of carbs to run at the optimum mixture and deliver great gobs of power with a twist of your wrist. Long live the Venturi.
