In another thread I recently asked for ideas for my '51 A7 that would tick-over just fine but break up badly under an accelerative load. The Amal Premier carb came "jetted for your bike", but clearly wasn't as the pilot jet needed increasing in size, the slide went from a 3 1/2 down to a 3 and the 140 main jet was increased to a 200.
That improved things a lot but still far from perfect, so the mag was stripped, the various components cleaned (including the HT spike) and one of Groily's Easy Caps fitted.
First proper run today so I couldn't go far or fast on wet roads, but the bike is transformed. Smooth and powerful.
A good blast to see if the 200 jet is correct will have to wait for drier weather, but so far, I'm very satisfied.
