My Commando came with a vintage Sonny Angel (worth googling if you don't know him) 2 into one manifold and an old Mikuni. I could never get the Mikuni tuned right (and a Jap part on a Brit bike irks me), so I replaced it with a single Amal MkII with the new stay up float and K&N filter, which works great for my casual style of riding.
I have acquired the proper manifolds and airbox parts and have spare Amal Mk1 carbs and parts to convert to the stock setup. Is there any advantage to converting back to the dual Amal setup with Amal Premiers (or at least their anodized slides), or am I asking for more trouble than it's worth? I have never had trouble with the dual Mk IIs on my '79 Triumph Bonnevilles; has anybody tried this setup?
