Hi All.
My cousin"s Combat is impossible to set with the new 932 18/19 Amal Premier (arrived with 106/230, 17 air pilot, needle in the center; but not with the cutted spray hood).
I have several Commando all with the old carbs overhaulled and the bikes have a good idle and setting and run great.
I think to be able with Amal concentric setting.
This Combat, with old carbs overhaulled runned very well with good idle but my cousin has changed because has broken one flange to tight one manifold.
The bike not only cannot have an idle but when go up with RPM doesnt go down soon and remains high for a while (there is not air leak).
The only way to have a decent (not good) setting is to go with only half turn of the air unscrew from all tight .
With 1 and 1/2 turn of air screw the bike go to 2000 RPM.
The sliders are both syncronized with 5,5 mm of cut open.
Amal says to fit 19 air pilot that will send me; i dont think this is the problem.
I have well cleaned all the air and fuel ways and floats arrived setted like x manual.
I cannot say that Premier are not good, even if i dont like to use, because i have mounted two pair to my friends bikes without problems.
In the meanwhile i will fit two my old 932 overhaulled and i know the bike will run great.
Sugests will be very apreciate.
Thanks.
Piero
