Title: Amal on Thunderbolt.

I have a brand new concentric on my single carb A65 OIF. Running weak, needs choke on to pull. Which notch should the carb needle be on please.

All the books show needle in position 1.

But you will  need to experiment for best settings, using the Amal tuning guide.

Hi Julian. Just come in from the garage with some success. The main jet on this new carb had some rubbish in it. Could barely see through it. Thread complete  ;D
