My heart almost broke when I lifted the engine cover to this *gorgeous* little Square and saw the snake-basket! I mean really! Who the *hell* would put some infernal crap like that under the hood of an otherwise so-sensible car? But the careful ministrations of people like Jim A, Toby, Brian and many, many others, they've walked me through the pitfalls of early FI ownership. I can't say that I'd never do carbs, but I'm certainly no longer afraid of FI. FI's strengths are lower emissions (more of a concern in CA and the eastern states, in AZ if the car still basically moves, you're made), greater fuel economy (as I said before, I get a solid 24 around town, and up to 32 on the road), and prZžid reliability (they're 30 years old, and mines' not been well-maintained). If power's your concern, FI pretty much (at least as far as the original setup) has to stay stock. There's little or no room for muscle under the original setup.
