Amal Mark2 Carb - Wow!
05/20/05 at 18:00:50

I like it - alot! Savage is a different animal now.

For you techies, the carb is actually a little shorter length than the stock carb. The airhorn (inlet?) is the same size as the stock savage airbox inlet, 62mm (2.445 inch). I was able to stretch the stock boot to make it work, a temporary deal but got me going fast. I mean fast.

For the rest, go here and scroll down to the bottom...

I remember using several Monoblocs and Concentrics as baseballs...or trotline weights. Nice to see an off the wall trick pan out. -WD Wonder what could be done with the Mikuni built SU knock-off I just found at work...

Wife wants me to go visit her grandparents in Mason (TX), with her and the kids. Going to be a tough sell to get a yard pass, I think.

Might be fun to try one later on. My Honda Shadow has an accel pump, and runs very strong as long is it's over 90 degrees outside. On cooler days I have to leave the choke (enrichment valve) on a little bit.

Problem with that SU knock-off is the size, about 1/2 again as thick as the Savage carb, and it's a 42mm throat. Suppose I could deep six the entire airbox and run a pod or velocity stack type filter. Tongue

And relocate the battery while I'm at it, that carb is some kind of funky shaped. SU was an English carb, this one is the Mikuni HD Shovelhead version...74 cubic inch engine size. Ought to be about right.Guess I'll check the V-twin shop across the road and see if jets/kits are still available.

Maybe I should just send it to Lancer to play with for me, since he's the carb god.

I just wondered if there were more (do I ask for too much?) Anyway, I guess that a 38 MM Amal replaces a 40 MM Mikuni just fine.
