With the low rpm, air flow in the manifold is not smooth or
steady. A carb meters fuel based on volume and the engine burns fuel by mass. Getting balanced and safe fuel mixture in each cylinder with a carb is not easy, they tend to meter a little extra at all power settings. Aircraft injection is usually constant flow port injection, but it is more precise and the fuel is dumped into the intake manifold just at the intake valve. The automotive and newer aircraft systems have controlled injectors which only squirt fuel as needed, making even more accurate distribution. Diesel and the big radial engines late in WWII/until the 1950's had direct injection into the combustion chamber. [Most radials used a pressure carb [fuel injection with the nozzle in the throttle body] or port injection.] -- James H.
