Thanks a bunch, I just bought a 1971 Bonneville and it's been sitting for awhile so I'll be doing a carb clean and this is just what I needed to see!

The 'O' ring is not so much to seal but to prevent it unscrewing itself, it gives it some resistance. Use carb cleaner not brake cleaner, carb cleaner will clear the gum and varnish better. Turning the pilot screw out actually weakens the mixture, turning the pilot screw in richens the mixture, this screw is an air screw, not a fuel delivery screw, it effects air supply to the pilot system. The atmospheric pilot system channel starting at the mouth of the carb is built into the body of the carb and has a notorious 90 degree bend that blocks up, it's tricky to clean but a 10 guage guitar string is ideal coupled with carb cleaner back and forth, also make sure carb cleaner comes out of the atomiser hole in the floor of the venturi. doing whats done here may not see the full benefits here unless this blockage is cleared, you may get past the "well on its way to idling" stage if this is cleared, plus worth mentioning, make sure no air leaks have developed between the carb and head, any leak here will cause the problems you have 👍🏼🇬🇧

Thanks, I just bought a 1971 Triumph 650 Tiger and your video was very helpful. Although I think I may have to buy a new carburetor becaue the throttle won't even 'move. The bike sat in a shed for 25 years and I'm trying to restore it. It only has 16,014 miles on it.

Anyone that wants to own a vintage bike should learn the basics of carb cleaning and rebuilding. It's not that hard, especially with a single carb Amal like this bike has. I learned on a 75 Honda CB750 which has a rack of 4 carbs. (Hackaweeks CB750 series was a big help.) When I picked up my 64 Triumph TR6 last year is was so much easier to deal with that single carb.

Excellent video! My buddy just bought one and we're going to have to go through the carburetor. This video is really going to help. Hey, I always wondered what the technical term for that grime in the carb bowl was called. "YUCK"! Wow, I always seemed to use other terms to describe it. And the mess in the jets is called "CRUD"! I'm learning. BTW, just in case I still have problems after performing this repair, what is the term you use when you go through all this and the bike still runs bad?

The throttle stop screw bears onto and moves the throttle slide, which is connected to the main jet needle, I grant you.

How do you know you've cleared both air and fuel idle circuit ? You haven't even mentioned the 0.0020"hole in the pilot jet ?

I have issues with gas coming out of tickler any much needed suggestions please. 930/23 tr6r
@HackaweekTV

It just does that. What you're doing is allowing the float to sink thus opening the valve that lets gas in. You are basically flooding the carb so it gets more fuel to help it start. It will overflow through the tickler at which point you let it go. IF it does it all the time, the float level is set to high.

What you call the idle mixture screw is actually the throttle stop. The pilot jet is to the right, this controls the tickover mixture. What you call the air correction jet is called the jet needle, on a British Amal, anyway. Ok, lets watch as bit more...

It's a shame I couldn't here the sound of the engine running, due to the music. Arn't they just beautiful bikes. I have a 1978 750 Tiger. The idle speed is jumping around at 1500 to 2000 rpm.

Sounds like you may have an air leak. My t140 idle speed crept up even with the throttle stop screws backed right off. In the end the only solution was new bodies and slides, as the originals were so badly worn and distorted that they were allowing too much air to bypass them. Hopefully yours will just be a leak on the manifold joint.

Shame you didn't use the correct Whitworth wrenches and everything got rounded off. Or new gaskets or didn't clean the idle passage correctly so the "carb cleaner" actually shot down vertically from the carb body so the bike would actually idle at the end., or replaced the worn slide needle that was very obvious or the needle jet that should be replaced as they wear pretty rapidly. It's a '71 BTW, not a '72. I have never seen or heard of anyone adjusting the points that way. I suppose we will get to the timing later.
