Hello forum members,
as I am new to the forum let me shortly introduce myself. My name is Thomas, I'm a 57 years old mechanical engineer from Germany, married and I have three daughters - and some motorcycles. One of them being a recently acquired 1977 Commando MKIII Electric Start with 7.500 original miles on the clock.
For reasons of sound, performance and looks I want to replace the bean can mufflers to roadster type (look-through) peashooters. At the same time the air-filter box will be replaced by a K&N filter unit, fitting to the stock Amal Carbs. There is no connecting tube between the two exhausts.
My question is: do I have to adjust the carbs in terms of jets and needle position, to get the whole ensemble running smoothly? Do you have any other suggestions or comments to these exchanges?
Thank you in advance for any advice.
Thomas
