I thought this might be helpful for those of us trying to come to terms with Amal carbs. Very easy to follow even for spanner gumbies like me.

"The following articles and instructions are provided as general information for working with AMAL and MIKUNI carbs on British Motorcycles, without the need for expensive tools or paying for expensive shop labour. Many British motorcycles are not properly enjoyed as the owners have neglected the basics of carb maintenance that they run so poorly and are frustrating to ride. A Norton Commando should idle evenly at 600rpm and be able to jump off the line at a traffic light with a fistful of throttle, without hesitation or stalling. Use this information with common sense and at your own risk."
