Hi,

As 30mm Concentric carbs. were/are fitted toA65s you could use 930s from a Triumph and change the slide, jets and needle etc. to suit the A65.  Personally, buying a used carb. is a bit of a gamble as you cannot be sure of how much wear there is internally and replacing all the replaceable parts may not make it a good carb.  Unless you know they are in good condition and very cheap invest in new ones.

I absolutely agree with Dave. Bite the bullet and buy new.
