Paul I’ve watched a fair few of your videos now and although I’ve never owned a classic British bike (nearest I’ve got was a quick ride on a Bantam 175 and Triumph 500 years ago) I always enjoy them and find them interesting. Thanks

Winding out the adjusters in the carb tops will cure it. Well spotted paul 👍

Well spotted as usual, thanks. Did make me wonder if the carb cable outer had been "trimmed" in the past, they look a bit ragged.

I had to change the throttle cable when I fitted a Mk1 Amal concentric. Bike already had an Amal, but monobloc. It needed a cable with a slightly longer inner cable.

Paul, you always provide valuable common sense solutions when working on these classic bikes. Thanks for the tip to deal with this throttle issue and for pointing out the possible issue when changing carbs on these bikes. Will there be another road test for this one.? Would like to see the improvement in performance. Cheers, Dan. 👍🏍🇨🇦

Hi Dan and thanks - I have just fitted a 21T gearbox sprocket and am awaiting new tyres to arrive. Once I have fitted them and changed the oil, there will be another ride.

Twin carbs need a twin twist grip best thing you can do

Could you also have the senario where a carb set has been changed and there simply isnt enough travel in the throttle twistgrip to accommodate the extra cable pull needed for the new carbs?

Yes - in fact I discuss and demonstrate that with an Indian RE Bullet in one of my videos, where a big carb had been fitted and it was only achieving about three quarters throttle for that very reason.

Had the same problem with an MZ300, even though it was a original factory fitted part!

Commando cable junction boxes are similarly a pain in the a**e
