Carbs can not provide the correct air/fuel ratio for all drive conditions:

start up
cold running
idle
hot start
acceleration
cruse
over run

They are a compromise and limit fuel economy, power output and emsissons.

Fuel injection on the other hand is much more controlable, it relies on electronics not ventui and holes!
