tss1974 · Post by **tss1974** » Sun Mar 08, 2009 11:21 am

Hi for every one, i´m new in this forum and hope to visit more times, of course.

This days I was bought a AJS model R4 1930.

The bike is in good condition but I think need a new carburettor because start very good but not run good.

The carburettor it has now is AMAL 76BS/1AT.

someone know what carburettor has this bike original?????

I think this carburettor is not original for this bike and is very difficult to find parts for it.

Can you tell me what is the correct carburettor to this bike? and where I can buy it.

Thanks in advanced.

Best regards.Edited by - tss1974 on 08 Mar 2009 11:27:06 AMEdited by - tss1974 on 08 Mar 2009 5:25:14 PM

It will be near impossible to find another carb for this bike, let alone a new one,
It is possible you can get a similar replacement from
http://www.burlen.co.uk/
They make some new Amals, of all kinds.
A nice site you have and some nice bikes,

hi itma, really find a new carburettor for this bike is impossible ... but really i´m looking for similar carburettor, I will ask for it in the web you tell me.

I´m very happy my web is nice to you, I have some bikes not in the web, i don´t have time to renew the web.

I live in county Asturias (north coast of Spain), near Colombres, where celebrate a important motor show in july where come more english friends.

I´m look for some information about my AJS R4, but internet is very empty...

I hope hearing from you.

Best regards.
Toni

Hi Toni,
For pre-war AJS and Matchless, you should join the 'prewar ajsand matchless group' on Yahoo.
Otherwise contact Martin Bratby, who reconditions carburettors, his number is 01543 572583 this is also a fax number.
He recently fully reconditioned the amal for my 1930 AJS R6 for a very reasonable cost.
