Other than the rotax, I can't think of any aircraft engine (not a

converted auto engines) that has more than one carb.  Certainly, all of

the continentals and lycomings I've flown only had one.

True, however, I can't help but think that some of our saftey practices

are just there to make us feel good.  For example:  Safety wiring.  We are

very careful to always safety wire our oil filters, yet we never safety

wire oure oil lines.  Why would an oil filter loosen up any more than an

oil line?
