All in all, I believe you’ll find fuel injection to be more reliable, less finicky, easier to start under all conditions, and just all around better than a carburetor. The Xciting 500 with fuel injection seems to be known for cold start issues. But it’s an exception. Most of us have romanticized the carburetor because we can take it apart and fix it ourselves. But on balance, if you use decent fuel, drive it regularly, and use a little additive every once in a while, a fuel injected system is usually very reliable. Yes, IF they do give trouble, it can be a challenge to diagnose and costly to fix. But they simply don’t then to give trouble that often.
With cars, think about it. When’s the last time you had to pump the accelerator to start the car? And how often do you have a problem that’s actually traceable to the fuel injection? We used to rebuild carburetors REGULARLY.
