"So, smaller carbs maybe a good thing for the extra torque I need for the
sidecar.  What about at 65 mph into the wind going up a hill?"



I think the smaller carbs only contribute to better torque at quite low
rpm's, maybe 2000.  You're not going to be able to hold speed in those
conditions with the engine turning 2000 rpm anyway.
