    just wondering if an engine running a single carb would benefit from running twin carbs?

    the engine in question Honda CD175 only has a single inlet port anyway but i have friends in russia who convert bikes from 2 carbs to 1 and i know my dad did his eld GL1000 from 4 to 1 so i pose the question, is it pointless?

    below is a twin to single convertor (flip this right? that'd work surely)

    basically would like to replicate a CR93 engine but they are rarer than rare. Thinking it may just be pointless (its my best friends first bike i have the honour of building up for him while he takes his test etc)

    Guzzi have just gone to single throttle body on their latest small blocks to create a steady air flow. Kept dual injectors though. More power and fuel efficient than may Breva I understand.
