Montesa Mh200 Idle Adjust?

Just finished restoring my Montesa MH200 (new 2nd oversize piston, rebore, plug, oil, cables, kick start spring etc)

WP_20140509_002_zpsbba5763e.jpg

Bike will start fairly easy on the choke, but doesn't want to idle. It has the MK2 Amal concentric carb.

Does anyone know how to set up idle adjustment on this carb, as it doesn't appear to have an adjusting screw. Also, the revs don't drop off as quickly as they should when throttle is closed. Could this be connected?

Any help much appreciated!

No I didn't actually.Though I had a hunch it might be jet related.

Bikes been sitting for years without running, so looks like a carb overhaul is on the cards.

I know the amalcarb.co.uk site do a great stripdown/rebuild article for the MK1 concentric, but nothing like it for the MK2 that I can see.

They also do an overhaul kit, which I'll probably get next.

Anyone got any links to parts diagram, rebuild info, jet specs etc?

Thanks Total shell. Just what i wanted!

Zerorev3rev4 - When you say there is an idle adjuster, do you mean the pilot screw? And where is the mixture screw? Sorry my carb knowledge is pretty basic!

Great forum btw.
