Amal concentrics

am trying to get a 32 MM Amal concentric 2 wurk with an Indian Enfield
:-(
Anyone had any experience tuning Amals ??
Munchausen, Australia.

 

The beard chewing freaks on uk.rec.motorcycles.classic may be able to
help.

 

Have you tried Surrey Cycles at www.amalcarburettors.co.uk

 

yes but he told me to throw my second hand carb away and buy a new
one from him :-(

 

yes, I know that 32 is supposedly too big. wot happens
is that it starts easily and,once underway pulls strongly with an
increase in top speed BUT it wont idle and spits back at small
throttle openings, a sign, so i'm told of a very LEAN mixture :-(
even with mixture screw screwed right in it still spits back.
I'm out of ideas. wotz yaw thoughts ????
Julian,

 

Have you tried unscrewing the mixture screw?
I'm not that familiar with SOEnglish carbs but if the
mixture screw is on the engine side of the carb it generally
unscrews to richen the mixture.

 

Munchausen worte:

the geezers probably right the are made of shitt and the slide wear out
veyr fast your better of with a mikuni mate truss me.

 

Blimey, just up the road

 

You'd want it to taste good, not write a novel. However, as this is
usenet and not a restaurant matey might do well to not to use speech
recognition while he's pissed.

 

yeah, I've screwed it in and out but it makes no difference :-(
