Weber carbs where a popular modification for road and track cars in the late 60's 70's and 80's, they where hard to get the jetting right but once set would stay in tune unlike the twin carbs they replaced as a modification. I am unsure how they perform in an offroad situation as not all carbs are built to work at extreme angles. The SU's and Stromberg side draught carbs featured a variable venturi controlled by a piston that has a needle attached to it that gives it a controlled main jet that you can adjust the starting point of, this along with their excellent fuel bowl and needle and seat makes them an excellent offroad carb, this could be an alternative for you to look at.
