Thanks for your replies guys,

I'll check the level of fuel and that there is absolutely no debris knocking about (I steam cleaned the tank during the build and fitted a fuel filter).
I don't have a problem with being sympathetic to it, if that's the way it is. I always turn off the fuel on my C15 before coming to a halt and stopping the motor - I'm not sure why really? Maybe adopt a smiliar procedure & see how I go.

Thansk again,

Gino.

PS, here it is, at a point where I had a few small jobs left to do - one of them being moving the horn after it clouted the front mudguard........:face_with_rolling_eyes:

While my Amal is not new. I believe it is very old. Anyway it leaked all the time. I lapped the float needle and problem solved.
A very small portion of valve grind paste and a couple of revolutions and back and forth. I got a very small, but very bright ring all the way around the needle.

I like those rigid tele fork models...I've had a few over the years, M20,21 and M33...After girders the tele forks were a vast improvement and made the rigid bike something that could be hacked about in comfort...Ian...

A member of the old bike club I'm in has a tele M21. Following her on a run riding my Sportster she was pretty much keeping up to legal limits on give & take roads, something I certainly couldn't do on my girder model.

Thanks for the responses everyone, I'll let you know how it goes!

Gino.
