February 18, 200818 yr i am just about to order an Amal for my 199cc cub (Mk 1 22mm) but was wondering if there are many different set ups out there? i have searched but only came up with a couple of spec's. I am sure the 230/250's are not the same so just want the main,pilot etc please for the standard 199cc.
February 18, 200818 yr Honestly dont bother! Go the Mikuni or Dellorto route they run sooooo muh better one one of those.
February 18, 200818 yr Unless you are forced to use Amal then I would agree with OTF. You can use Mikuni which would be my third choice for this machine, second choice is the Keihin which gives fantastic performance off idle but backfires when you close the throttle (could be it needs a longer inlet tract). No 1 The Del Orto, smooth as silk! No hesitation, no stalling fantastic pick up (and I run at with virtually no idle) smooth all the way through range and no backfires. See blog "The Tiger Cub" "Nursing a Cub" "One Trick Cub" Tony
February 19, 200818 yr Author I wasent asking 'which carb to use'! i allready run a dellorto but for the miller trials you have to run a british carb or go in the specials class? what about events like Red Marley and the PJ1 northern champ's can you run a dellorto?
February 19, 200818 yr I ran a Dellorto at Red Marley last year but it's not really in the spirit of the sport. Try a 3 slide, 110 main jet, 35 pilot, 105 2stroke needle and a cut away atomiser as a start point. Will work ok but will still spit and stall when you don't want it to. I think really low gearing is the answer for red marley if it's dry cos the sections can be tight & fiddly.
