Re: Some faith is restored

Yes you have to use an open end spanner and just say "click" when you think it's tight enough Ron

Re: Some faith is restored

Ron, any chance of mailing me the carb spec card etc. ? The non /R carbs fitted to Nortons don't have the elongated slot / side drain and they do indeed piss fuel into the engine or back out of the inlet if there is any over-fuelling.

I'd quite like to compare jet blocks.

Re: Some faith is restored

It's strange though, I've recently put new Amals on my Commando with no problem at all when tightening them up, but the B25 couldn't be done up at all without nipping up the slide. A spring washer under the nut or a blob of Wellseal on the thread helps to stop it working loose without it being tight. Loctite could end up undoing studs when getting it off.

That might be because it's impossible to get a spanner on the b*st*rd, s*dd*ng, effing, c*nt*ng nuts on the Commando manifolds. :-)
