[QUOTE="CrustyJeep, post: 799212, member: 15960"] Oh boy where to start :haha: First off, carbs ARE inherently inferior to FI. For our purposes, FI is most important for two reasons. One, it runs up side down, or more importantly, it runs WELL at extreme angles that are common in this sport, and they do it without smoking or dripping gas or any of the other lame crap a carb does. Second, FI provides better fuel economy, especially in odd angles, where again, a carb will screw the mixture all up and waste fuel. Fuel economy is important when you have a long drive ahead of you and no gas stations....... Your example of airplanes flying up side down is wildly flawed. First, most airplanes cannot fly up side down. Their airframes aren't designed for it. When such a plane does go upside down, it's not the same as inverted flight. The plane must follow a path that provides positive G-forces. From the plane's point of view, it never really goes up side down at all. Planes that actually can go into inverted flight, with negative G's and everything, are FUEL INJECTED :flipoff: Around here, FI is common and cheap. We have wrecking yards FULL of FI parts that are cheap and perfectly suitable for offroad use. I suspect it's a lot different in Bolivia., and if we didn't have such easily obtainable FI around here, we'd be doing a lot more with carbs too :; [/QUOTE]
