I bought an engine for my trike, it's a 2054 stroker with CB44 heads, 120 cam and various other little goodies. It currently sports a single Weber 44 IDE (I think). The engine runs good but doesn't seem to have the power I think it should have. Is the Weber 44 enough carberation for this motor?

It might be a little under-carbed, but run what you've got. Just fiddle with the jetting. There's a science to it, though. Be prepared to spend some bucks on a set of jets just to try. Take the jets out now, see what they are (the mains, especially) and step them up one or two sizes and see if that doesn't make a difference before dropping the dime on a set of dual carbs.
