[QUOTE="mr.hutch, post: 26470, member: 1424"] Hi chrislaun, I have just looked at my notes from when I last reset the carbs on the outfit. This was some years ago and have had no reason to alter them. The carbs are the same as yours, I also have mk3 cams, but a manual advance and retard lucas mag, although this is probably unimportant. The settings however are somewhat different, as follows, Pilot 25, Needle jet 106, Main jet 320, needle in the bottom notch. I bought both carbs new from Hitchcocks, back in 95 and at that time they supplied a very useful leaflet on tuning Amal carbs and general information, which may still be available. Hope this may be of use as I know how frustrating poor tickover is. All the best mr.hutch :D [/QUOTE]
