I do have a modern car (CO2 output is a linear function of fuel consumption, and I'm a climate crybaby) but the carbs on my 1975 R90/6 airhead are its least attractive feature to me. If I were a good citizen and drained them over the winter.... But that's a better me than the one available.
All the best,
Chris
I like my Weber IDF carbs. Easy to work on, very adjustable/tunable, yield good performance, great fuel economy, and trouble free. Other than setting up the initial synchronization and dialing in the linkage I haven't had to touch them at all. I drive the car enough where the bowls always have fresh fuel in them. 30-33MPG in a bigger than stock 1776cc engine with performance mods, that otherwise hasn't changed appreciably since it's design before WWII. I sleep soundly.
Running twin carbs reminds me running two tubes in a push-pull amplifier. Pick good ones, set them up right in the beginning, and they will yield a long and happy service life.
Funny thing is at least around here lots of the VW guys are into tubes. Something off in our heads from huffing carb cleaner apparently 🤔
