I just installed a set of brand new Amal 932's on my 73' 850 Commando. After watching numerous videos and reading various posts I've come to this as my adjustment strategy...
1. After warming the bike I'll back out the idle screws (diagonal) to a low rpm.
2. With my air/fuel screws (horizontal) set at 1 & 1/2 turns when I started the bike, I'll back them out until I get the highest rpms and further turning makes no difference. Then I'll turn the air/fuel screw in very slowly until I hear a slight decrease in rpms, then back slightly to just before the decrease - repeat on other side.
3. My idle should still be high so I'll adjust out the vertical (idle) screws until I achieve a steady idle around 1300 rpms.
Correct? I live at sea level if that matters.
