Post your carburetor pictures....!

Love the look, dreading the jetting issues now that fugly airbox has been removed...

Another thread someone told me that you can cut pop cans in half (top and bottom half) then cut the bottom in about half vertically. You clamp that on to your carb and your air filter over top so the pop can makes the necessary vacuum it needs.

 

[biker_reject]

Yes! A member PM'd me some time ago suggesting that very thing. I will definitely try this technique.

THE coolest carb EVER! The Amal GP

 

[Aetsh]

I find this thread very satisfying!

I know, not a mc carb, but I love the look of these things. SU carburetors from my long gone '54 Jaguar XK150. It was a nightmare (don't ask)!

THE coolest carb EVER! The Amal GP

Those are Hot! Very pleasing to the eye!

 

[crazypj]

Yep, AMAL GP terrific carbs for flow, Kei-Hin CR and Mikuni smoothbores are based off them
Nightmare to get set properly though, lots of critical settings for something so simple (at least if you want max HP)

...and just a little OT:

Some really badass carbs in these pics, thanks crazy for that bit of info as well, very interesting!

 

[JRK5892]

the powder holds up great! that is why it has to be powder and not paint on the carbs, the V stacks where made for me actaully by a forum member!

 

[Bobdot]

holy crap, those 45mm's are somethin sexy!

Don't mean to sound like a crusty all know it all, but that Amal GP is actually a TT which is the prior model. The TT had the needle down the middle like every other carbs, but on the GP they moved it to the side so it would interfere with the flow.

Had a GP on my 350 Goldie and that bike was pure cafe race back in the day. Clip ons, rear sets real Goldie silencer, AVON top half race fairing, glass tank etc. When i sold it back in 74 when I was moving to OZ, I could barely get 200 quid for it. Now they are worth a fortune. I replaced it with a Rocket 3 so I shouldn't complain.

Heres a GP on my Norton a few years back. I had a TT with twin floats. A very handsome carb. I gave it to a friend for a Rudge Ulster he was restoring.
