FAULT FINDING AND MAINTENANCE
Occasionally remove and clean the petrol filter gauze from inside the banjo con-
nection. If flooding occurs check this gauze to see that
it
is in good condition and
then remove the float chamber cover, float and float needle. Examine fcr dirt or
damage on the needle and the needle seating. When replacing the float see that the
narrow hinge leg
is
uppermost, as this operates the needle, and do not forget to
replace the float spindle bush. Make sure that the cover plate and washer are
clean and in good condition before re-assembl~ng.
Erratic slow running may be caused by air leaks at the flange and the flange should
be checked with a straight edge, and if necessary very carefully trued up with
a
fine
file or emery cloth used on a flat surface such
as
plate glass. When refitting the
carburetter always use a new p.aper joint washer and then tighten the fixing nuts
evenly.
For more detailed instructions on tuning see the Amal leafiet number
