Hi All,
New here and got my 350 Bullet yesterday. 2006 model, but understand it is most likely 2004; kickstart 4 speed.
The previous owner has fitted an Amal Monobloc, please see here for pictures:

Okay, I have no experience of Amal, sorry! but am offay with carbs generally. Had a number of Airheads, so intimate with Bings.
The choke is baffling me to say the least. The dealer who delivered it said leave the lever where is and just use tickler. As you can see from the picture, the position the lever looks, to me, like choke fully on, I.e. cable is fully pulled; unless I don’t understand Amals.
I can start the bike with the tickler. If I touch the lever it starts to bog. If I try the lever whilst riding, in other words engine warm, it starts to bog.
Now my understanding of normal carbs would be that this bike is running FAR too rich, hence why the choke is fully on.
Am I totally wrong?
Thanks for any help..
John
