G80s 1954 Carburettor -going a bit potty - Help!

[StephenG80]

Hi - as the original carb is no longer available I am aiming on getting a new Amol Monobloc as fitted from 1955 on wards. The carbs listed on AMOC parts list are not listed against models and the part number to not correspond to Amol part number. According to the spares on the Amol page I need a 389/1 (see http://amalcarb.co.uk/carbspec/carburet ... s/id/6671/) but none of the carbs listed on the AMOC parts service correspond to this carb, the ones listed are 376/100, 376/16, 389/18, 389/18.5 or 389/19. so which one equates to 389/1?

Any help gratefully received

Stephen

The carbs are generic spec and are jetted according to model when ordered.
Just drop them an email - spares@jampot.com - give them model, year plus whether you have an air filter fitted and they will do the rest.

What's interesting is that the Spares Scheme have got amal monobloc carbs but amal have told me I could be waiting thirty weeks for mine to turn up!

Thanks for the advice - that's it ordered and a separate email sent - hope I don't have to wait 30 weeks - I'll miss the summer

Talk to Michael at Surrey Cycles..

How much?

[ajscomboman]

£130 + VAT and P+P on top. The club is still the cheapest place to buy carbs.

[leswaller]

Yes but the shop that doesn't have them in stock is always the cheapest for anything and when new stock comes in they usually tell you the price has gone up.
