OK guys (and any gals that may be out there), I want a CHOKE for an Amal.
NOT an enrichner, a choke, as in a plate that blocks/partially blocks the air intake at the intake side of the carb.
Why? Well, with the electric start (Alton in my case) I have found that I still need to tickle the carbs to start from cold. Using the enrichners does't change the starting characteristics, they just assist in running while cold. If I remove the air box and cover the carb intake with my hand, THEN the engine will pull sufficient full from the bowl to start the bike with no trouble. So...is there such a thing as a choke mod for a concentric? I checked the site for the new Amals and they are essentially identical to the originals - enricher, no choke.
Any ideas
Please do not suggest some other type of carb; that won't be happening.
