Answer:

more vulnerable to icing

Step-by-step explanation:

The main disadvantage of float-type carburetor is its susceptibility to icing which occurs when there is fuel vaporization and decrease in air pressure in the venturi, which causes a sharp temperature drop in the carburetor. This fuel vaporization occurs within the cylinder of a fuel-injected engine and makes fuel injection system less susceptible to icing.
