[QUOTE="Bill Thomas, post: 138866, member: 485"] If your talking about Greg's Mods with the Carbs, I don't think that was Monoblocs ?. I played with a monobloc On my Flash spec' Comet and hated it , I rubber mounted it, Because I have a rear Cyl' Head, And it was Very heavy, I would not do it again !. Your problem with the Concentric I think was distortion after the flange was overtightened ?, At some time in it's life. I can only give you spec' for the Black Prince, !. 1 1/8" Monobloc ,Because the Amal book won't show the Victor, Only 2 made !!, 280 main, But comets like it a bit richer, I would say 300 ?, 30 pilot, Needle 106, Needle position 3, I think that's from the top ?, The Amal book say the slide 604, I think that means 4 slide ?. Just looked in Know Thy Beast, It says some people have trouble with the 30 pilot, And it's fixed by fitting a 25. I have been told that monoblocs can have sticking float trouble ?, Something to check ?. I think you have flooding problems, Easy way is switch the petrol OFF , As the float level goes down , If it smooths out you know it was too rich ?. Did you try Conways for the BIG piston ?, I am interested because am thinking one for myself , Only dreaming at this point !., But they say they have big barrels !!. Good Luck, Bill. [/QUOTE]
