Carb type for 1967 Atlas

Beach · Jul 29, 2014

I was wondering if anyone would know what carb is correct for an early 1967 Atlas...I have a chopped set of monbloocks (389-218, 389-219), (389-236, 689-236) monoblocks and a set of concentric carbs (930-300, 930-301)

According to the Amal website 'Vehicle Search' : http://amalcarb.co.uk/

Norton Atlas 745cc 1965 onwards 389/218, 389/219

Norton Atlas (Export) 745cc 1966 onwards 389/236, 689/236

(930) '300' & '301' are basic specification Mk1 carbs, so the jetting or throttle slide cutaway etc. could have been altered from the 'standard' specification.

My experience is if your bike is fitted with magneto ignition it would have been fitted with 389 monoblocs though would have been 389/689 ie left and right, if your bike has points [coil] ignition then 930 concentrics, and a hump on the rear of the seat.

Mid-year 1967, roughly serial 121000-onwards, saw the change from magneto/monoblocs to distributor/concentrics. This applies to the 650SS, Atlas, N15, G15, 33 and P11.

My parts book gives no suffix for the 650SS, but the 750s all got 930/5 -/6 without air filter (home market) and 930/7 -/8 with air filter

Mine has magneto and is early 1967 model so I guess the 389 689 it is...I guess they had air cleaner.

The air cleaner on my '63 filtered only big leaves and small twigs.....so I took it off.

Agree- my 67 had the 389/689 monoblocs and mageneto. I switched out the monoblocs to Premieres.
