Hi all. Some people were telling me to switch to Mikuni Carb on my 73 850 . They say it will run better. My question s will iT?? but will it take away from the Oringality of the bike??
britbike220 said:Have your amal sleeved and it will run as good as a mikuni plus much easier to set up and maintain. RGM sells a nice single amal manifold for reasonable. DO NOT BY A MAP manifold, they are garbage and about 20 dollars more than the nice RGM unit. I like the amal because it still looks like it came that way and it is way easier to tune. air mixture, main, needle jet and a needle and your done. A mikuni doesn't look as nice, but may very well run better with it's bazillion jetting options that you would probably need a dyno to actually utilize and set up correctly. Both options offer tried and true set up so it really comes down to personal preference. I likes me amals.
