You can run the same carbs because you are not drawing to both cylinders at the same time but you will have to use one carb on cylinders 1&4 and the other on cylinders 2&3. Otherwise you will have asymmetrical air flow. The air flow will be 180* out of phase and this will supply more air to one cylinder than to the other if you use one carb on 1&2 and the other on 3&4. This will happen because one cylinder will speed up the air flow for the other but not in reverse. So Yes, to agree with Bluemeanie, jetting will be the least of your problems.
+1 - 2 carbs is not ideal, and makes for serious headaches.
Been there, done that.

I am new to motorcycle engines, but Ive built many hot rods and street rods with all kinds of different intake setups and Ive never encountered anything of the sort.
I appreciate the advice and warnings but If i could get the original question answered, that too would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Hmm Ill try to find something on that. thank you.
You might be able to find some old magazine ads, with that setup in it. I can find, a picture of the carb, at the library....Maybe it's on a CB750 honda.

I would like to do a single carb off to the side of the engine. But i fear vacuum wont be great enough especially on 1 and 2.
