No, but I had 4 SUs running on a Triumph once, as well as a couple of DU6 double barrelled SUs. But as far as synchronisation headaches go, I'd have to nominate my old Lamborghini with 6 - 40 DCOE si

You don't actually have to synchronize the throttles on a dual engine car - road speed keeps the engines running at the right rpm for each wheel size and gear combination, and the throttles just have

In the air, the Cessna 337 (O2) runs nicely with one up front and another engine between the twin tails. Perhaps running multi engine cars on the ground creates the problem. If you can get the car of

There was also a twin-engined Mini Cooper that damn near killed John Cooper. And throttle synch was the problem. With modern engine management it might be possible - few years ago I saw a new Cadilla
