On twins almost everyone blocks off the intake ports and installs a single reed block? It would seem to me that simply putting plates over the intake ports would not be a great idea flow wise. It also seems to me that dual carbs is not a big deal to set up. Maybe 2-strokes are different but my old VW was very easy to set up with dual Webbers. Making linkage on a one-of basis might be challenging but for a semi production engine it would not be a problem. Hmmmm?
My '66 Porsche 911 had two triple throat Solex carbs, and the Porsche mechanic did not complain very much, but did charge a lot for their tuning. My British twin SU carbs were never in tune. You used a piece of tubing with one end in the intake and the other end in your ear.[&o]
