May 29, 200818 yr I have got a Montesa 123 (1980), and am trying to source spares for the carb, which is marked up as Amal 720. A Montesa website lists the carb as Amal L720/403. The problem is when I search for this carb I can't find anything even on sites that have Amal carbs and spares. There are similar types but nothing that has the fuel entering the side through a 'T' banjo and with fuel float bowl secured by a clip. Any assistance would greatly received. Cheers
May 29, 200818 yr I also own a 123 white tank model, not sure of the year but I think it's 1984, most of the 720 parts should interchange regaurdless of the fuel inlet, I strongly recomend using a Mikuni or keihn roundslide carb, the difference in performance is amazing, I installed a kehin from a mid '70's cr125 when the pilot jet broke off in the amal, after getting it jetted I couldn't believe how much more power in made, I heard in the '80's that some one was riding one of these at the world rounds and the only modification was an added mikuni carb.
