Better performance with the X2 carbs??
Only the one carb can have a choke coz just not enough space? but it's no big deal?? it's the prime bulb that I'm looking forward to?

Would need a bigger carb then right? Think a wj71 like the one I had in me 70cc would be good.

More then 2 cylinders yeah, I know first hand you need a carb per cylinder. 2 cylinders are kinda a goofy thing, can have 1 or 2. The carb needs to be equidistant between the cylinders to work properly. I've never been convinced one is really better then the other. Especially if it's a reed engine. The carb doesn't really need to be that much bigger. Only 1 cylinder is firing at a time. And they go bang 180* apart. So the problem with blow back would be minimal I would think. Idk. I guess it was just done because it fit and was easy.

So off topic (go figure) years ago I had this bad arse go cart 440 fan air sled engine on it. It had a single carb, ran great. I always wanted to try twin carbs on it. Never did for one reason, dad bitching about tuning 6 carbs on one of the boat engines.
