Amal Carb headache!

Post by markle »

Hi All

I have recently picked up a couple of old seagull's. One to power my little fishing boat and one to restore to do the same job!

The motor I am trying to restore is http://www.saving-old-seagulls.co.uk/i_ ... um=AC47401

The carb is a little past it's best, and it seems spares are thin on the ground ...

I am no technical wizard, but am wondering if there are any other carbs I can fit on to the motor, as many seem to be similar when I look at old bikes etc.

Aluminium doesnt seem to be the worlds strongest material, threads are falling out everywhere I look!

Hopefully someone can help, if not it will be some steel weld epoxy and good favour!

Thank you in advance, next questions will no doubt come when I free the gearbox housing.
