Amal 416 carb issue
Posted: Sat May 25, 2019 8:49 am
Feeling confused. I replaced the throttle cable on my EFNR gull and something isn’t right! The carb is an Amal 416 and it won’t close properly when the cable is attached to the thumb lever.
It closes perfectly when it is not connected so I have ruled out friction or obstruction in the carb / jet itself.
The inner and outer cables are the same size as those removed. It did tick over but not rev under load so I stripped and cleaned the carb and replaced the cable.
Now it just won’t close properly. It is as if the inner cable is an inch too short.
There are no ferrules stuck in either end, and no obstruction.
I am thinking it is just a miss sized cable.
Any other ideas?
