I think vibration at some rpm is making a little fuel get past the float valve on at least one of the twin Amal Mk1s.
The only symptom is a brief splutter coming off a longish, fastish period of over-run.
I’m somewhat minded to experiment with a spillway or overflow at a level that prevents the suspected flooding. I suppose it has to be lower than the horizontal pilot and compensation air drillings in the carburettor body.
I think people on Accessnorton have experience of just about every modification that the human mind can devise and someone has probably tried something like this and can advise, disparage, or whatever.
Pity it’s not a Commando- I’d have a bigger audience.
