I have never operated a carbeurated vehicle that I did NOT wish was fuel-injected.

I've never operated a fuel-injected vehicle that I wished had a carb.

The truck I learned to drive on would cut out if you turned left abruptly, or hit a slight bump while turning left somewhat less abruptly, while off the throttle. We lived on a really steep hill with a ravine at the bottom which meant if you weren't careful to give it gas on the (downhill!) left turn, you would soon find yourself operating a vehicle with no power steering and no power brakes, trying to use one arm to steer the now-manual steering, while using the other to try to restart it, while stomping on the manual brakes, hoping everything came together and restarted before the ever-increasing downward grade ran you across a busy road and into a ravine.

My first motorcycle had a carb, and fuelling issues on motorcycles are even WORSE because they screw up your balance.
