ok ,ok Kadutz i see you like amals and it's they work well on full throttle but they are a hassle to tune when they aren't brand new(which lasts very few to say the least!!)
amals conception is good and it's very much the same as the mikunis but quality is very poor....!i have seen last month in classic bike(magazine )advertising for hard chromed brass throttle.finally after 39 years they have reckoned that there was a problem.pretty fast!
you know that the vm series from mikuni begins in 1964 before amals concentric,so if you change to miks you have a period mod!you're right too when you say the amal mk2 is the same as the miks but i found them bulky(question of taste)
for me the only real good point of mk1 is that they are the prettiest carbs, so british in the best sene of the term
have a good ride ,full chat of course
