Hi there

I have a Montesa 304, needing a new carb.

Its fitted with an Amal - any idea what model it should be, and what alternatives are there ?

cheers

Alternative could be a Dell'Orto PHBH 26 BS, the a bit more modern one with air screw and idle jet nozzle.

At leat works great to my 242, another carb but expensive would be a 25mm SmartCarb* but that is costly.

I would not use an AMAL again unless the slide issue is not solved, (the AMAL used the same material for carb bod
and slide which causes super much friction and leads very fast to rattling slides so worn slides and carb bodies!)
The silde should be made out of the softer material the Body should be made of the harder material, so the slide wears
and not the carb Body, thus the plated and hardened slides are not such a good idea because in the end you will have
a proper working slide but a worn out carb Body ...

 

*SmartCarb has no jets which is super nice in handling and if you ride in very different climate and hight situations.
