People are fixated carbs and its always the same 3 issues with them
The jets for the OEM carbs and drill them swap E tubes and otherwise screw them up in a steep learning curve.
They buy tillotsons racing carbs and fret over turning screws and trying to make them idle.
They buy slide carbs and fret over jetting.
You can buy a real good quality intake from ARC that lets you bolt on a Tilley, but this intake will allow you to use just about any carb that fits the standard flange.

You can use one of any number of Tillotsons, Walbro, Carter, even a Kohler or Tecumseh carb if you like
You can solder together an intake with aluminum rods and propane torch and salvage the carb off just about any old flat head that's under 400cc.
Even a GX390 carb can be used they work really good too ( but you need the right intake and that is not on a standard flange ).
There are adjustable jet kits for the OEM Honda style carbs too.
Think outside the box and don't be afraid to experiment.
If you have scrap engines with screws that turn odds are you can adapt them to a clone.
