DBD34 Mikuni carb problem

[ducati2242]

No help at all on your mikuni but Why . My db500 , totally rebuilt with pearson internals , runs perfectly on an amal gp . Starts first or second kick , ticks over good , and pulls like a train .

I have the original GP for the bike and I spoke with Burlen's about re conditioning it is very worn even from first glance and Burlens priced a replacement that will do the job but is not correct at over a grand and said a correct one is no longer available so that will not be happening

I hit lucky and got mine from a genuine seller on ebay for £360 took a bit of set up and afew different slides  and experimental holes drilled in said slides but i have it almost perfect now . sometimes stalls on tickover but i dont want to try to up the revs from the 800 i have it at now as it may go all wrong .

I've got a couple of Amal 1036 set up for a DBD 😉. I am using one on my 600.
Also have a 930 on my 500 (but also have a 10TT9 for that). They are simple and work well with decent slides and correct jets. Not as flash as the GP or as sophisticated as the Mikuni.
