Hi Advise Please
With a single 34mm carb as above I have the following settings:-
SLIDE = 3.1/2
PILOT = 15
NEEDLE JET = 106
NEEDLE IN 2nd GROOVE ON 2a1
MAIN JET = 300
FLOAT HEIGHT SET AT 0.070" BELOW
AIR Screw is out 3+ turns out to get an idle.
Here's my dilemma. Black smoke out of exhausts and really sooty plugs.
It's a new carb and recently overhauled engine.
Advise please oh and choke on lever and I hate it going to install handlebar operation. I have flat bars on any idea what cable I will need as Amal can't help.
Cheers
See you all at Stafford.
My question to you is what…

Choke operation
Hi, I had trouble with the lever operated chokes on Mk2 Amals not sealing, changed to cable operated and no problems after that.

Choke cable
Hi Malcolm, It will depend on the type of bars you have fitted, I have standard European bars fitted and can give you a rough idea. RGM list a single cable, they also stock the cable pull choke. If you go to their web site and search choke cable both parts will come up.
Best wishes,
Terry.

My question to you is what size carb would you have if you still had twin carbs? Would it by any chance be 32mm? If so then there is no reason to go to 34mm for a single.
I have an 850 MkIII and fitted a 34mm carb with basically the same setup and the same problem.
It gave the impression the choke was never closing properly and it ran lumpy and heavy at tickover, went ok once a few revs on.
Now fitted a 32mm and all is ok. Although it is possibly slightly weak.
