What carburettor should I be looking for that can be tuned for methanol and pre65 legal?
-
If you go Amal I think it would have to be a monobloc type as concentric were released in 1966 (from their website)
-
VM Mikuni is completely legal and presently fitting one to my BSA which may someday see the light of day ::)
16.15.8 Acceptable machines and components: Pre 65 Solo
16.15.8.6 Carburettors of any type pre 75 round slide may be used.

Hey Steve, I didn't think B40 and pre 65 went in the same sentence together :-\
I hope they do because I'll be in there with you.
-
Amal monoblock and Concentric mk1 are both allowed in pre 60/65. The concentric is still available new from the UK, & reasonably priced.
-
If the rules as stated by HeavenVMX are correct I'll def be going for a Mikuni, I've found them easy to set up before, off hand what size should I be after?
Yeah Pete, that old chestnut again about dizzy and points models.
Initially mine will be in the Elstar for Pre70 and Slider classes until I get my B50 engine sorted then the B40 will go into a C15 frame so we both can give the pre65's a run.
Thanks to everyone for your input.

i run twin mikunis on my pre65 triumph.only pre60 is were you must run amals
i dont think there would be a problem with any b40 in pre65 as long as the meeting wasnt in qld.
just my opinion

Steve, I am running a 32mm Amal on my B44. I did try a 34mm mikuni on methanol but it felt a bit too big.

If you go the old Amal Monoblock all the old Amal TT Fuelly jets you probably have in an old wardrobe somewhere will fit! If not I have Quite a few bran new ones.
Plus it will be genuine pommy junk not wierd Jap stuff!
cheers pancho.
