I would not try it if I thought that there was a chance of a half decent carp. A Tenkara rod is not cut out to deal with that type of fish.
I do know someone who has caught a 2lbs chub on one.

I don't think there are any suitable tenkara rods for carp but there are other fixed line keiryu rods that would handle a decent carp and cast a fly nicely.

Chris on t/bum has some! Just waiting for some "spare"pennies and the opportunity to sneak in "another rod?"

I agree with Richard to some extent. I would go for a rod and line and reel set up to be fair on the fish. I have seen footage of people engaged in protracted battles with big carp and salmon on fixed line set ups and it does not do anything for me being honest.
I have caught plenty of carp on a fly rod and it is great sport but would not venture into Tenkara gear to catch one.
Just my personal opinion of course.
Tight lines and see you on Saturday on the Ceiriog.
