caburated engines
Hello,
this may look as a stupid question, but :
why do you change your injection system for caburetors ??

No room under the bonnet in our case, also simplicity, cost (of aftermarket injection) , they sound nice and I'm a bit wary (scared) of
electronics.
There are as many reasons to not use carbs as there are to use 'em, but no room to fit the original management and the cost of an aftermarket
one did it for us

Carbs don't need any complicated electrics and in the case of bike carbs dead easy to set up.

Most do it because the standard injection setup is bulky , restrictive , and will only work with the standard ECU and wiring .
Some have an allmost luddide fear of modern technology , and believe carbs are so much simpler 
And the best reason I've heard - some dont want a kit-car that just works............with no fiddleing to make it run every time the weather
changes , no points and distributor to service every few miles......
As for the `sound`...........open throttle bodies make the same sound as open carbs , it's just that those with the sense to run modern engine
management allso have the sense to run proper filter's and airbox's 
All in my humble opinion , of course
Its cuz I is blond , innit

Electronic engine management means you don't even have to open the bonnet and get your hands dirty AND you have full control of ignition and
fueling unlike clockwork ignition and carb(s)

Being old enough to have purchased cars when EFI was just a dream so had to faff around with points and carbs, throttle bodies and soft control by a
laptop is utopia.
I can see the arguments for carbs, but in reality it all comes down to cost, carbs can be cheap and made to work very well but its each to his own.
If I was running a set of 40's I would keep for the looks but treat as TB's by adding injectors down stream.
