Carbs are good in fact great on the right car! Can be better than injection if you go for 2 twin barrels!
But on an already injected engine you have the problem of the ECU.
You either have to ditch this completely and go for some kind of electronic dizzy set up with a TDC sensor or find an ECU that works with carbs.
I'm going to have to argue about carbs ever being better than injection bodies, Len.
No matter what carb you use, you need the venturi effect to draw the fuel through, so you need a restriction in order to get it...with ITBs you don't.
Carbs can be set up to work when hoy, or when cold, but most often don't 'do' both well. I've had enough sets over the years to know what a pain they can be.
You simply cannot get precise metering of the fuel, using carbs and a stack of jets...precisely why everything of any importance now uses injection bodies, not carbs.
With an injection car, that has an ECU controlling the ignition and fuelling, you can normally just disconnect the feed to the injectors and run the ignition side as is, to take care of the spark.
But the fuel pump will give FAR too high a pressure for carbs...so that needs to be worked.
Far better in my opinion to go for throttle bodies.
Absolutely.
And if the fitment is going to be on a car that's already injected, with all the sensors already fitted for engine management, I'd not even consider carbs...go straight to stand alone management and ITBs - be they bike ITBs of the likes of Jenvey.
