Well as most of you would know, I am a very happy Mikuni user on all sorts of things.
How ever I am sticking with 32mm Amals, at this stage, on the rebuild, mainly due to the cost of manifolds,filters etc.,
and the overall appearance.
I did purchase a nice pair of " improved " 32s' from PV, and am looking for advice on settings.
Will standard cutaway (2.5) work.?
Does anybody here use Amals with the Idle jet modification, if so what size for Combat.
Would like to get it in one if possible,... You know, they're not like Miks, where you only need a screw driver to get them off.!!!
he he he.
AC.
P.S...... Had a read of some of the Bushmans site today and it explained how to tell if slides are worn...
" If the engine revs slow down when you just slightly take up slack in throttle cable, then slides are worn. "
I assume that when you do this, it must hold the slide tight against the body and thus make a better seal.
Mine does exactly that. It helps to know this when riding as it helps to roll upto a stop, and not try to hold a fast idle
with the throttle. My is working better if I leave the throttle right off, when rolling in. No spit back from the lean off.
It does'nt quite make sense to me but it works. Perhaps it is the fact that the slide is sitting on the idle screw and not junping around.
Never assume.. It can make an ASS out of U and ME.
Anyway, will have the new ones on soon.
