My Dad has just got a new bike, and we are trying to setup the Amals
We have a pair of MK1 concentrics both setup the same.
Just replaced the floats, as one of the old plastic ones had a crack and had sunken.
So two new genuine stay-up floats with the aluminium Viton tipped needles to match.
We have setup as per the Bushman guide, and all is running fine (bike runs great, sounds perfect, and throttle pickup is nice)
However, on the right carb when you snap shut the throttle, fuel leaks out of the tickler.
Both floats were setup at the same height, and the left one doesn't do this.
We tried swapping the entire bowl from left to right (putting the left one that didn't leak on the rightside)
And the problem stayed with the right carb, not with the float.
We have checked the slider height, and these are both identical.
Looking to you guys for ideas...
Thanks in advance!!!
