Hi all, I have seen somewhere a detailed photo of both the Bing and Amal carbs stripped down! I cant for the life of me remember where it was, would someone please help me with this?

Main site FAQ?

Always worth giving the FAQ page on the main site a plug; or specifically:

http://www.saving-old-seagulls.co.uk/bing_carb.htm

The AMAL and Villiers carbs are in the same place although it looks like a pic of the later 416 type has replaced the older 46N which used to be there.....
Maybe the gremlins came out to play during the recent site edits.
