    I have, and those carbs are still far simpler than on cars.

    Balancing can be fun (figuring out why the hell does this one always pull more mercury, and how do I balance so they’re all reasonably similar).

    Have a bike like this currently.

    But bike carbs don’t have the crazy vacuum lines everywhere, or an EGR system mucking things up.

      Never did have to deal with a carbureted vehicle with EGR. Lucky me I guess!

      4 CV (vacuum operated) carbs on a 30 year old inline 4 cylinder bike is where I topped out. There were definitely several dark magic ceremonies required to get those to run well (at all throttle positions). God forbid you want to change the intake setup.
