[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 173275, member: 597"] I think it most common that you need to adjust/modify parts to actually work and get the job done.......If you expect that any part should automatically 'Come good" with the basic adjustment available, then you will be sadly dissapointed.......and often.......Changes in fuel alone will give different readings from the specs when these bikes were made........When setting up the Amal TT's on my twin racer years ago, i had no end of trouble getting the float levels correct (this on methanol).......No matter what changes i made, the level was always too high.......I resorted to some non standard modifications to get a result........But it was worth the effort.......Just takes some out of the box thinking........and carrying out some odd repairs to make it work. The timing chest is an area that is typical of this kind of re work to get everything to a better than average state...... What I'm getting at, is that you can't always simply buy and install a new part and expect perfect results without some re work to make it better. [/QUOTE]
