The AMAL part is: "Screwed Plug", part 4/137A. Caution, the latest carbs come with tops that can be used with slip-in cables or screw-in cable adjusters. The screwed plug will not work in those tops. It's easy enough to block the hole with epoxy or similar.I have finally bought a pair of 32mm Amal Premiers. Having read what I can I intend to fit them without chokes, presumably a screw to blank the choke hole in the top of the carb.
Any thoughts please.
Did you block off the cable hole?I really don't understand this, but originally, I removed the chokes on my 932's - had one heck of a time starting the bike. re-installed the chokes, and now the thing starts without issues. problem is, i'm here in florida - 75° plus is pretty much the normal summer low, so I don't use the choke. a little tickle and it starts without issue - the choke lever just sits there in the full off (no choke) position. go figure....
yes I did - used the amal, factory parts. it makes absolutely no sense - must be one of the mysteries of the universe.Did you block off the cable hole?
Less weight !!!What is the advantage of leaving them out?

It was common to see the air lever held open by a loop cut from a tyre inner tube, on well-used British bikes.
