Very interesting. My manual is the 'Blue Ribbon Service' manual for models 72, 104, 105, 124 & 125, part GSS-1398 found
here (I don't think it's where I got the manual, but it's the same one).

They were designed to be the best combination that could be achieved at that time, in that era. Again, just my 2 cents.

My only point being that some people prefer carbs over FI for whatever reason - it's what they're used to, they've been working with them forever, etc, but that doesn't mean they're better. Same thing goes for the condenser vs transdenser. Is the Transdenser truly better? I don't know. But it does work.
Of course, in the case of the CC, it's not like you can retrofit FI onto it (or pretty much any single cylinder engine - as far as I know, even brand new lawnmowers are still carbed). The example is more relevant with my friends '76 F100 - he HATES the carb in that and desperately wants to swap in a 5.4L.
