 Advantages of running twin carbs?
I've done several searches on here and I haven't been able to get a clear answer. So can anyone tell me if there are any advantages at all to running twin mikuni's instead of just one? I imagined that there must be an advantage since the higher end MB motors all have them but maybe it's just so they can charge more for the engine.

 Re: Advantages of running twin carbs?
You gain some on the top end. If you have a CDI, you are already on the rev limiter with a single carb, so why.
