How about mechanical fuel injection?

The kids will never know what vapor lock is.

I realize that the word “carburetor” is an ancient word but millions of vehicles and engines...including your lawn mower....still use them.

If you drove a 1975 Ford F-100 you would still have to know how a carb works.

My best advice is to make the “kid” go through all of the tests we used to have to do back in 1960. Even though the vehicle probably can do it, make them do it. There’s nothing like the experience in actual defensive driving of the older world.
