Amal T3 GP2 Carburettors

[passenger0_0]

I'm trying to source two Amal GP2 T3 clip mounted carburettors in 1 3/8" diameter for my race outfit. Preferably a new or very good used pair would be ideal but a miss-matched set of GP1 and GP2 would work as I only need the GP2 for the front cylinder. I've tried Amal but they only make flange mounted GP1 type. Any advice on who could supply the GP2 type would be much appreciated. Cheers David.

Hello David,Have you asked Chris William's, ? He used to race a Vin outfit and has a good stock of Amal stuff, www.auto-cycle.co.uk Cheers Bill.

Last time I was allowed a GP (Far to modern for Historic racing) I used a flange adaptor and a short length of water hose no vibration or heat that way either

Thanks for the suggestion Bill. I'm waiting to hear back from Auto-Cycle. I have considered using SS1 Dellortos:

Either 34 or 36 mm Dellortos, which I believe you can get new and are clip mounted, would work but I'm trying to keep the outfit all British. If I cannot get a set of GP's then I will go for Dellortos. Cheers David

Update:
Had a nice email from CW of Auto-Cycle confirming that they cannot supply GP2's - so the search continues.......

The body looks very similar to 10 TT9 - I converted my flange fitting to clip fitting quite easily, used the standard Amal clip as well.

Good News Update.

Andy Molnar can supply flange mounted Amal T3 GP2 carburettors new.
Cheers David

I used to use these folks for my BSA Amal bits. May be worth a try:-

Amal GP Carbs

Thanks Mike.
I actually found these earlier but didn't order as both the carburettor image and part number relate to T3GP1 which have a different pilot circuit to the GP2. Additionally the price was the same as Burlen Fuel's GP1's so it reinforced the thought they were the same thing.
I've ended up ordering two 1 3/8" GP2 from Andy Molnar but I apreciate your suggestion and findings. Interestingly on EBay these carbs occasionally come up but are usually well worn and sell for the cost of a new one so I'm not the only one having difficulty sourcing these specific types. Cheers David
