[QUOTE="Newbs1, post: 17515, member: 2194"] Hi John, I am a new member with a C series rapide fitted with two front heads and having two 2900 series Mrk2 carbs fitted on the left hand side of the bike. I had the same problem with flooding. I purchased the Amal "Stay Up" float kits part number AM/622/069A from my local Enfield dealer. You could purchase from Amal direct at Burlen Fuel Systems Ltd, Spitfire House, Castle Road, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP1 3SA. Tel 00 44 (0) 1722 412500. email: [EMAIL="info@burlen.co.uk"]info@burlen.co.uk[/EMAIL] web:[url]www.burlen.co.uk[/url]. The kits come with full instructions and float height adjustment. My carbs had the earlier white plastic (Nylon) floats which could not be adjusted. The new floats have a stainless steel tang which can be bent to alter the fuel level. Adjustments to carbs were made may 1972, April 1974 and May 1986 (The final change). If you follow the Amal instructions it is easy to work out. Unless the float height is correct the valve will not close. I already had viton tips however for about £10.00 each float kit this cured my problem. Hope this helps. Regards, Geoff [/QUOTE]
