Thanks mate . I just installed an Amal carburetor( from Hichcocks ) on my Royal Enfield .

Good Carbs help, after 45 years the factory units had seen there best  i could never get my T140 right , new set and a tune ,it has never run better. Great Vid.

Would love a Trident; they sound so good.

Rubber needles and do a wire washer to take up slack on the float to needle contact……: i just did another one up and the carb is not blubbering anymore…..no more wet hole in the rear….::

Hey Chris, lovely to meet you on the flight to Sicily, enjoyed chatting cars and bikes, hope you had a great holiday, we got back 4:30am this morning, had a wonderful time

Great video !  Nearly bought a Trident years ago but settled on a Bonnie instead!  It has given a good run, but  was left for a couple of years with fuel taps left on !   Full strip and clean needed  and I am about to re set these screws!  Factory Manual says 2.5 turns out ?   But this is far too weak!  Amal themselves say 1.5 turns  way back in early sixties!  You confirmed it for me so thats how I will start ! Glad I found your video and thank you!

Just bought a BSA royalstar I believe but its twin carbed.  I can get it started, warmed up with a fast idle via throttle grip.  Tried adjusting and letting off throttle grip but the RPMS die as soon as I let off the grip.

Thank you so much. This was a huge help!

I have a MK 1 on a Norton inter which has a 15 deg down draught which then dictates the float height so where should the float be relative to the top of the float chamber ? Any thoughts ? Thanks

New to me 68 T150 and struggling to get consistent idling at all so this is really helpful. If I fail consistently do you take on odd bits of tinkering and tuning? Just over the way in Barnsley.

Good video there, very informative. Thanks

Great video, I’m hoping you can help me, I have a 1969 Bonnie T120 with new wassell carbs , and engine was completely rebuilt, here is my problem the bike kicks over on first try but will not stay running unless I hold the throttle ,once I let go it dies, it may take a few kicks to start again but only if I re tickle the carbs ,and help would be great, thank you

Have a 69 a65 bsa, new wasteland carb, starts ok cold, won't start hot. Any ideas?

Hi, the idle on my pre monobloc is good. However when I open up the throttle I get that splutter before it picks up, as mentioned in your video. Does this mean I need to screw out the pilot jet to richen the mix? Thanks

which Amal carburettor is it? would Amal 622 fit on Royal Enfield 500cc old model ?

How do you connect the vacuum gauges ?

Can you really take two plug leads off and tune one carb running on one cylinder? 3:57

Gidday Chris. I have a slight miss and an occasional backfire at about 3000 RPM - ie half throttle. The bike idles perfectly. Does the mixture screw on these carbs have any impact to the mixture at mid throttle?

Would i be crazy to try to set up a dual carb for my suzuki?

What's the most likely problem when turning the air mixture screw in or out doesn't make any difference?
