Relatively simple manual slide design.
Easily maintained.
Easily tuned.
Good performance.
Readily available parts.
Introduced before the ultra-lean carb settings mandated by EPA on later models.
No easily clogged accelerator pump mechanisms.
Cope with pods better than most.
Hold their tune for a very long time.
No frail expensive diaphragms to contend with.
Good Fortune!

Exactly why I want to start with those on my project rather than the VM28's from the Z1's.

all statements above are true.
the 33's will work. but if u cant get the 26's to work u may have just as much trouble with the 33's.
spend some time learning about how to clean and tune the easy carbs before u try to upgrade.
there are lots of guys that will help u get the 26's running proper.
