never argue with an idiot, they'll drag you down to there level and beat you with experience.

Based on the issues I see here and my EFI experience I can tell you that carbs are more difficult to diagnose than EFI. EFI is easy, either the **** works or it don't. Carbs have so many levels of in between it's not even funny. Two different view points I guess.

I never said better but they are easier to "DIAGNOSE" they are a harder tune and less fuel efiecient but simpler to fix, and i know all about readers, let me ask you a question about your efi experience, are you a mechanic?
also the parts involved are the same, be it a car, bike, or snowmobile for that matterLast edited by blitz2190; 06-08-2012, 09:34 PM.never argue with an idiot, they'll drag you down to there level and beat you with experience.

Sorry. I guess I'll go back under my rock. Maybe I don't know what I think I know.
Since I've been told that my other post was completely wrong, I've changed my mind. Carbs are so much easier than FI.
My point was, if you have mechanical aptitude, you will not have a problem working on FI. If there is a problem, you will probably spend more money repairing FI vs. a carburetor.
I was about to rant but......I'll save it.

I don't see how 05RedKat600 being a working mechanic or not has anything to do with the fact that he is right. EFI is in fact a lot simpler to diagnose, especially if you have the right tools. Being a mechanic, you should know this. The proper scan tool will allow you to read everything within the system (pressures/voltages), change parameters, and actuate parts individually. Anything that can't be diagnosed with a scan tool can be done with a DVOM.
There is no figuring/guessing what circuit in a carb is at fault, then figuring what needs to be done to correct it, then going in to fix it. Fully cleaning a carb and rebuilding it is not diagnosing a carb.

And cars and bikes are nowhere near the same when it comes to injection...90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

But I'm done arguing my point you can believe what you wish but until you've worked on a couple thousands then I'll take the advice until then I'll rely on experience.never argue with an idiot, they'll drag you down to there level and beat you with experience.

Originally posted by blitz2190 View Postowned no, worked on yes also efi sleds, as far as parts they all have tps, require rpm and position sensors as well as 02 sensors, they all have fuel pumps and when you work on a system that isn't perfect one simple wire broken or a stuck relay can be a nightmare to diagnose and a reader is not an end all it only know what the computer tells it, that could be another issue if the computer isn't functioning correctly, yes you could throw money at the problem and replace it all but that's not diagnosing it.
