This is a handy little guide for setting up carbs, not just Amals.... http://amalcarb.co.uk/downloadfiles/ama ... _guide.pdf G '60 C77 '60 C72 '62 C72 Dream '63 CL72

Well, a bit of a storey!!
What I CAN say is that it now goes like a pocket-rocket, instantly & freely winds up to 10,000 rpm!! BUT, there were some errors made by me, first off, when I re-built the carbs, I found that the main jets had a slightly different thread-form & would not fit, so assuming ( wrongly) that they were ok anyway, I re-fitted them. The original floats were dust, so replacements ordered & fitted, but NOT AT THE SAME TIME!! Upon stripping down today, I noticed the the floats were different diameters!! One was 28mm, the other 32mm! EH??? Checked the main-jets & found that they had no numbers, the NEW jets (the ones that wouldn't fit) had a 1.3mm bore, the old (original)? were only 1.1mm, so I thought I'd risk it & bored the old ones out to 1.3mm to match the new 135s. 2 new 32mm floats were fitted, set to 22.5mm All reassembled, fingers crossed, turn on, press the button, BAM, instant start & ran very smooth & even, took it round the block, & it was off like a good-un, max revs in all gears, no smoke, & returned to a nice tickover. So thanks to all for your help. Only concern now is it rattles like a bag of nails 'upstairs' , cammy, tappety?? all check out ok however. GSX1400 Red/silver
