I suspect that the Homare used a carburetor initially and later a low pressure injection system. I once asked and received a reply at http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/engines/homare-low-pressure-fuel-injection-system-24635.html....snip...
Direct injection also allows to scavenge cylinder with air instead of mixture and greatly reduce risk of ice formation. That was not featured only by german WWII engine, but also by Japanese ones like Homare....
