Re: 1944 BSA WDM20 boat anchor and other gearbox hell
Bob I presume you have fitted an M21 crank? The Amal book quotes a 160 main jet and needle position 2, but in a 1 1/16" carb. I'm not sure how it calculates with the smaller carb. Maybe raise the needle a notch for running in and see how the plug looks from then. Ron

Hi Ron, thanks for the reply. Yes, there's an M21 crank in the engine so for practical purposes the engine's a standard M21.
I'm glad you pointed out the 160 main jet, I'd thought it was a 170. So while the carb settings are a bit mixed up for an M21, it's not too lean. I'll raise the needle a notch for the running in.
