I had a look at the Revmaster Revflow Injector
carb, flat slide throttle- anything wrong with this unit?

Some of the pictures on the Revmaster site won't open for me, but it looks
as good as anything. Cable slide and a cable cutoff for fuel (and maybe mixture
control) Perhaps a look at one of the KR builders pages will turn up some
users.
I always likes the old SU carbs on British cars. They have no accelerator
pumps, but sudden full throttle does not lift the damper, and they will come off
idle very well. Pulling on the choke cable lowered the main jet to a thinner
place on the needle and might work for mixture control of sorts.
I have never had one in my hand, but the Bing web page shows both cable
operated slides and diaphragm
operated slides. With no floats it needs a cutoff system to keep fuel from
running out when parked. That might also allow for mixture control in use. The
diaphragm version might be more responsive during throttle setting changes,
similar to the Strombergs.
The lack of a flat bridge to form the choke, is replaced by the slide
having a curved shape to match the side of the body on the top. The slide when
retracted fills in the missing area of the choke area, and a choke is formed by
turbulence from the exposed slide channel.
So long as whatever you choose has some sort of mixture control, then easy
mounting and price would be the determining factors. Big cable operated
motorcycle carbs have worked for billions of miles of rough service. Good
advertising?
