I would look at places like Speedway, Summit, and JEGs for linkage kits for inline engines.

I assume that you know if you want a simultaneous or progressive linkage set-up.

I have never had dual carbs on a 235 engine. I am thinking simultaneous.

I agree with your thinking that simultaneous will work better on an inline engine.

I would be concerned with fuel/air distribution with a progressive linkage. That means that only one carburetor would be feeding the engine at part throttle.
