I am running rich with the Amal Mk 2s. Very rich. I can see the black unburnt fuel smoke at the exhaust at idle even with the screws turned down to 3/4. Runs strong, but after 10 miles or so, it craps out and runs poorly. When I return home, I see that my plugs are black fluffy, and I notice the fuel level is down demonstrably. I have the needles at their lowest level.
Pulled the carbs. The floats are floating, and the mains are 220 I believe. It always starts first kick every time w/o enrichener activated. Wondering if I should block the hole to the float bowl with a thin piece of rubber so as to rule out any fault there. Any pointers appreciated. Looks like float adjustment is not possible.
Thankyou, Robin.
