If you have a single carb, you will also need an inlet manifold to go to an Amal. The Mikuni manifold is different. Are you setting the lever in the right position? It's DOWN to start, up to RUN. When cranking, DON'T SNAP OPEN THE THROTTLE....leave it on the stop.
Measure your Mikuni bore. Most are 32mm, but I've seen 34s and even 36s on hot rods. If you want to sell the carb, adaptor, and manifold, let me know. Or trade for something.
