Depending on the twist grip there are 2 sets of throttle cables. The 1/4 turn throttle has different cables than the standard one.There may be adjusters on the carb tops also, then the cables may be too short...
Depending on the twist grip there are 2 sets of throttle cables. The 1/4 turn throttle has different cables than the standard one.
I noticed that the needle has a noticeable bend in it about where the taper starts. Should there be a bend at that point,
Is it possible that the cable itself is the problem. ie. too short?
At the cutout? Is this as seen from the air filter side? If so, that's correct; the slides bottom out on the intake valve side, NOT the air filter side. If you're seeing 3/16", that would jive with a #3 slide (3/16").There is still a gap of about 3/16" between the bottom of the slide cutout and the bottom of the carb opening.
I purchased new Amal 932 carbs. When I took one of the new carbs apart for mounting purposes, the factory setting for the needle clip is on the lowest groove of the needle. Should it be on the middle groove instead?
I thought that lowering the clip would make the mixture richer.
I guess my questions are does it matter which groove the clip goes on?
And should I move it to the middle groove?
