Yeah but Maicos were fast and if a Bing carb is a brick , then the Amal is it’s equal as a dirt clog. Yeah if you see him ask him about the lack of a pilot jet. I’m thinking that the mixture screw covers the job and the needle takes over. It’s a 32mm Amal with a velocity stack on it and a finned carb spacer an it’s ported so when looking thru it all stack ,carb, spacer,head that Amal completely swallows and hides the slide. It’s wfo and it a straight shot at the valve . As I recall this thing sucked up the fuel , it’s a British beast and yes she can dance. I remember first time I rode it the brake pedal was tucked in close on left side , I took off along this long building , trying to be cool a short wheelie 1st,2nd ah what the hell grab 3rd , lookin at a ten foot high pile of about 200 stripped motorcycle frame in a pile that I was about to impale myself on at 50 mph , just barely got that pedal with my big toe locked it up , slid it sideways , stopping just inches from certain death. But I managed to make it cool and in control. My freakin eyes were popping out of my head while I was lookin for the brake lookin at that pile of frames. If those people watching only knew !
