I want carb engine, I am searching twin carbs but this is very old car in my country and its difficult to find parts. please anybody tell me if I can adjust 1.3's single carb on the d15b can this carb produces near 95HP with d15B ? thnx for att. 



If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: Help help help! carb problem.
Welcome.
If the engine runs ok with the 1,3 carb, I might leave it alone unless/until you have the correct carb that actually goes to that engine.
It should run OK at normal driving but would lack a bit of power at top end and wide open throttle due to slightly smaller size.
Should still have fairly good economy even though it lacks a little power.
The last USA Honda I knew that used dual carbs were late 80s Prelude. I haven't seen one of those in maybe 10 years.
A poster here adapted a Solex carb from an old VW Beetle to work on his old civic that had carb problems, said it worked good for him.
