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

Re: 1944 BSA WDM20 boat anchor and other gearbox hell

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.
