The Amal 376

[Devlin]

Time to delve into this, its all stripped and in the sonic tank but I think I will have issues the slide was difficult to get out and is scored so I need the main jet body out tho I cant see how its held in place maybe just stuck any way all the help I can get is much appreciated

It punches up and out through the top of the carb. Sometimes a kettle of boiling water or a bit of heat gun eases the process.

If the 376 is a similar set up to the 276, I,ve pressed the jet block out in a large vice with an appropriately sized wooden dowel against the block and a socket to press it out into, warm it first as well.
Ive also used an F clamp to do the same years ago before I had proper tools.

It looks pretty bad to be honest if I get the bike running and it sounds ok I will invest in some new carb inards

Only similar to the 276 in that the jet block is removable. the 376 and 389 don't tend to suffer from the issue that the 276's have where the body and the jet block lose snug contact and the idle circuit goes to hell. However they do all suffer badly from Ham Fist Syndrome (HFS) where someone does the flange nuts up so tight the body distorts and the slide sticks in the bore. Its quite hard to repair this although I've had some success boring the bodies out on the lathe and sleeving in brass. I've also skimmed the body and sleeved the slide but as the slides tend to wear the most I would suggest trying a nice new hard anodized one in the bore and seeing how much wear there is.
