Sorry if this is not right on point. If you have a carbureted engine, and are switching from mechanical, one down side is if the floats stick you can flood one or more cylinders and then if you go to start it you can have a hydroloc situation, and you can break pistons, rods and many other valuable parts. This happened to a friends Shelby aluminum 427 engine I helped him build last year. Big $ loss.
