Answer
Your super B carb is fine for your bike. It might not be the carb, but the coil which is causing the problem. If the coil is weak it will foul plugs, so dont worry about the carb since you are changing the ignition system anyway.
In order the put a starter on you bike, if its never had one, you have to buy a starter kit for it. V-Twin Manufacturing make one.
Good luck and happy riding
