Hi rebuildone - welcome to the forum. If you have any specific questions by all means ask away. Twin carbs although have been done to 1200s (and even
36hp ala okrasa kits), you may question the cost effectiveness/benefit of doing so unless you are trying to go "retro performance" as a style.
There was a thread here about doing something similar to a 40hp engine so maybe do a bit of a search/read through the old posts as a starting
point...if you can't find what you are after then post again.
