fuel metering is based on pressure differential and the fuel flow capacity of a duct. This is not a very precise means of metering, so the carburetor will almost never provide the best fuel ratio, so fuel consumption will be higher.
Because of the lack of sophistication in fuel metering, there??s little room for adaptation in face of changing conditions like high altitude places, changes in air temperature/density, abrupt acceleration, etc.
Fuel atomization may not be so good at times.
It??s difficult to use with forced induction, because with turbos and superchargers the intake is pressurized and can ??fool? the carburetor.
