Having problems with my Amals idling so at the advice of a pretty good Brit bike mechanic, I was dismantling my carbs to send in for a resleeve. According to the PO the carbs were pretty much "new" when I got the bike and I have put very few miles on it. The bore on the Amals look pretty good but the slides have wear marks. I measured the slides for out of roundness and both slides measure .004 difference with measurements 90 degrees from each other. One slide is 1.366 - 1.370 and the other is 1.369 - 1.373. Both slides slide easily in their respective carbs and there doesn't seem to be a lot of slop when slide in the idle area. Just don't want to do a sleeve job around bad slides or maybe a sleeve job is not my answer. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
