Er no. The reason you do not find carburetors in cars is the stringent

I think the real reason you don't find more modern technology creeping into the legacy aircraft engines is FAA regulation, certification costs, and liability.

BTW, back in '09 there was a "mandatory SB" to replace metal, plastic, and previous foam floats with the new "blue epoxy foam" floats.
