LOL ....that brings back ancient memories of heated discussions I would have with idiots (conspiracy theorists) that were convinced that oil companies had bought out patents on such a device to keep them off the market/oil prices high/etc.

They had absolutely no understanding of how an internal combustion engine worked and no matter how you tried to explain the relationship of proper air/fuel ratios vs cubic inch displacement, cam timing, valve overlap, critical ignition timing, air flow, etc.... they believed it was happening.

I usually ended with: Well if the carb is the critical component to 200 miles per gallon fuel economy on your 327, 350, 400... cu. in. engine, then just remove the carb. from your briggs and stratton lawn mower, build a manifold adapter and bolt it on!

How's that workin out for ya?
