carb jet sizes?
« on: 07.10. 2009 20:16 »
Hi
Can someone tell me the correct carb jet sizes for my A10 iron head with +40 pistons?
I use a monoblog carb.
Thanks

Your 1953 Flash (iron head) was fitted with a 1-1/16" type 276 Amal, not the Monobloc.

Please advise us the type and size of the Monobloc you have.

OK, emillios.

On the top of the carb flange is a number e.g., 389/71. It's the first number that is important.
Please post that number and we can advise more fully.

Hi, Bacon's Twin Restoration lists 240 main, 25 pilot, needle .1065 clip pos. 3.
The 376 in good condition will be fine on your bike. 1 1/16 is correct size.
 
Maybe contact amal for questions and parts.
And get a few books if you do not have them. Good luck.
