EZGO and Club Cars sell only carb carts. Yamaha was the only one to market an EFI model, more as a sales gimmick than anything else.

Got to ask, how much sophisticated fuel management does one need for a one cylinder engine???

Then stop and ask yourself after 5-10 years, how much is the repair bill when something goes wrong in the EFI cart and your warranty is long gone where a simple carb. swap will get you going.
It is grossly unfair to use common sense logic in a posting
