As most automobile engines now use fuel injection instead of a carburettor, I think this article needs updating. Biscuittin ( talk) 19:25, 17 February 2008 (UTC) I agree...Most auto engines use EFI. However, EFI was not common on inboard and I/O engines until the late nineties. There were several technical hurdles that had to be overcome. Not the least of which was engine rotation. A number of marine engines rotate backwards. Most inboards in service today based on a Ford or GM small block are still using a good ol' Holley 4160.
Heck, distributorless ignition only has only recently become mainstream on marine inboard and I/O engines. As an example, PCM released the PRO-TEC ignition system in the late nineties, only to have it fail after a few years use. PCM has quit manufacturing the coil packs. They offer an "upgrade" to an electronic Prestolite distributor, if your DIS fails. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.232.7.226 ( talk) 11:25, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Or bullsit, who knows - marine engine rotation description conventions are reversed, boats with twin engines can use contrarotating engines. But whether the above is true I have no idea - why would it be - lets go to the all that trouble for.. ? Mddkpp ( talk) 14:10, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
