Hi Guys,
I have a problem with one of my Amals only. I just rebuilt them because one of them had a sticky needle or a bad float and it would start overflowing when i tickled it after a long run. Never did it when the bike was cold. Odd, i know, but either way i said "screw it, lets rebuilt both.
Now, the amal that was doing it is fine but the other one won't stop overflowing the second i open the petcocks. sometimes it will shut off but as soon as i tickle it it stays open.
I took the float bowl off and checked it to see if the height was set right and it was actually too low! So its definitively problem of something making the bowl stay down.
I have genuine Amal gaskets, i haven't messed / trimmed them at all, new style needles, etc.
i didn't mess with the ticklers so they're still as they were when i took them off the bike.
What could be another cause here?
