Exactly, there is no reason it would not run well with 1100 carbs. It might run differently but still should run evenly. I have worked on a couple 1000s with 1100 carbs and they ran just fine. Have one out in my shop right now. If you are sure everything is copacetic in the carbs look elsewhere.The original carbs had an intermittent fuel related problem, the 1100 carbs have an intermittent fuel related problem? Is it possible it never was fuel, but timing/electronic ignition?
