EFI needs how many ECUs??? $000 !!! extremely rare to need a new ECU
So... $300 / $00 = ???, use limit as X approaches 0 = infinity!!!
Carbs cost infinitely more to maintain than EFI systems!!
That's why shadetree mechanics will go under, there's no need to pay them with EFI!!!  |
I bought a 1982 Honda 500 in June of 2006 with 11K miles on it. I'm 95% certain that the previous owner never rebuilt the carb. Since 06' I have had the carb off the bike twice. Once in 2006 to install a larger main jet, and again in 2014 to remove it and install a Mikuni. It's never seen a rebuild kit.
What part of the Universe do you hail from where motorcycle carburetors require 5 rebuild kits every 20 years?
