January 2, 200521 yr Playing with my other toy today, noticed that the throttle will stick open, but only while the bike is running, switch engine off and the throttle will snap back perfectly, done this every-time. Cleaned and checked every-thing, (twist-grip and cable are new and oiled, as is the handle bar end clean of any grime) and noticed that the slide and the inside of the carb (1988 Amal) has scour marks, do you think that this could be sticking with the air-flow from air-box to the cylinder ? Can carburettors be re-built or would it be more cost effective to buy a new one ? Gaff.
January 3, 200521 yr Author Sorry, i meant "re-condition" not "re-built". Thanks for the responce guys, the carb is the Amal Concentric MkII. Although i agree with you HondaRS about (especially) using the Dell-Orto carb, i am trying to keep the bike as original as when it left the factory in 1988. Saying that, think i shall still look into a price for both an Amal and Dell-Orto. Regards. Gaff.
