    Amal mk'2 are rubbish just like the SU in my opinion and a single carb would work better on something like a bobber.

    Have to agree. Forever setting twin carbs su's not heard any thing good being said about them.

    If you are not used to Amals then a single, or a pair or single Mikuni is a better option...and Amals are not that bad if you know what your doing......you should try it with three of them.;)
