Funny ole world… Amals vs Mikunis…

It has around 6 projects in front of it
I did start to fit it many years ago
But my 750 runs so well I'm loathed to mess with it
It's not the best type it's an early twin belt one
The later single belt kit is a lot better but was still a nightmare for most people
I've been looking at extending the impeller shaft to convert it to a single belt plus fitting deep groove ceramic bearings etc etc
The plus side is next week I start working part time instead of full
This will hopefully give me some more workshop time and maybe some of my ideas will reach fruition 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Trouble is… you’ll have more time for more ideas….!
 
Probably Amals ended up on "hot" Japanese bikes because there were lots of clapped out ones floating around cheap to free. If you wanted to experiment with various Japanese carbs, this would be way more expensive.
 
When I had my stroked 500cc Triton, I actually bought two CV carbs for it, but did not use them. That motor had been built with all the theories, but the result was a never-ending search for midrange power. Being stupid, I actually enlarged the inlet ports - (totally wrong). Its power band was all above 6,000 RPM and when it came on song, after I had backed-off in a corner, the bike would go sideways. When it had megaphone exhausts, it was horrendous.
