bultoboy Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Hey guys. I was just wondering which carb is the best on a 159? I have always used an Amal mk 2 just because that what my dad used. I know mikuni is now popular as is delloreto. Why are bings not so popular?

smelling123 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Ive got a Mikuni and its very good, but Im not convinced its much better than a good (i.e. new or not worn) amal to be honest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penno350 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Never tried an Amal or Mikuni but replaced the Bing on my 199A with an OKO and it is much better in terms of throttle response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullylover Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) The main reason everybody changed carbs on the Bultacos was the Amals and Bings wore the slides and needles out very quickly. The Bing wears the slides out very quickly. The Bings were supposedly the better carb out of the two. I know they were more expensive for Bultaco to buy. The 250`s had Amals and the 350`s had the Bings on them. The Mikunis lasted much better. Edited February 20, 2013 by bullylover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
