Carb Swap: Cv's to Round Slides?

[mrfreyguy]

I got 71' honda CB350 twin engine for my kart and I pulled the carbs and there all seized and varnished. So I was thinking of buying some mikuni rounslide carbs off ebay to replace the m because I know more about these. I measured the bore of the current carbs and its 32mm. Is this swap a good idea? Has anyone done this before? I also am guessing that some cafe racer/restorer will buy these carbs for some $ so I was thinking that this would pay for the roundslides. Let me know what ya think.

CVs suck.

Exactally! I dont get whe companies used these instead of roundslides(varible venturi?). In my opinion there alot simpiler. Im in the process of scoping out some carbs on ebay. Am I correct when I say with the right tuning I will have more performance with the roundslides?
