You dont want a cheap one - inexpensive yes, not cheap though...

Thanks Flip. I spotted an Amal carb conversion kit sold by Hitchcocks. it comes with a 30mm Amal MK1 Concentric carburetter and S&B performance filter. that might be the way to go for me right now..

Amal MkI concentric AKA the metered leak. Mikunis are far nicer, and there's probably more knowlege about jetting them (MkIs are ancient)

Get hold of a service manual - downloadable if you use torrents (*cough*). These engines are dead simple and well within the realm of stripping down on the side of the road if need be (just like all bikes used to be). A manual, a few tools and a bit of common sense and you should be able to handle most things.

ok, I'll do a bit of research on the MkI and Mikuni before making a decision.

Already got myself the service manual and a bunch of tech notes from the Hitchcocks website. Their guides are damn thorough with pictures as well
