from norton1973, It may not be what you want to hear, I just had my whole top-end done by a shop in Nashville, with one ADDITION, a Makuni 34mm carb. I had pulled my hair out trying to get the amals perfect, not to mention getting the ticklers right and not leaking, etc. I was reluctant to go with a single carb, and it not be a amal. However, I have never been happier, no issues at all. The choke is perfect. Single lever, and 1 or 2 kicks max, and she fires right up. Idles like never before. Once you drive a Norton with one you'll nver go back. Best thing I've ever done. Very, Very smooth!

Not yet ready to give in to a Mikuni. My Amals are silky smooth on the throttle with the Gaylord sleeving. After 12 years they have realitively little wear.
Cookie,
No loose nuts, but yes it was backfiring due to the leak. Took it out yesterday. Had to advance up the spark just a bit. Had the timing cover off recently to replace the timing cover seal at the cam. Now it's running very nice, ready for another season!
