I have a Honda 400 twin. It's 30 years old, and parts are just starting to become a problem. I have 7 more of these bikes, plus spare engines. I intend to ride them till I die.
I also have a Matchless with a wonderfully simple monobloc carb.
What I want is the simplicity and economy of a single monobloc carb, but on the 400 twin.
Looking 30 years into the future, there will be people keeping old brit bikes going, but probably not my CB400.
Therefore- if I were to consider a simple, endlessly fixable carb- with parts likely to be available through an enthusiast group- which carb should it be?
Consult the book Durable Motoring, about how to have a Morris 1000 last a lifetime, if this idea interests you.
