Carb help please.

[Mollbhan]

Bought a really nice 1948 AJS 18 with a worn out pre monoblock carb, sent off to get re-sleeved, months later and still waiting. A flea bay replacement was predictably perhaps no better than the original. I would like to fit a wassell carb until I get a pre monoblock sorted out, can anybody offer advice on type, jetting etc, the club spares scheme seems to have them but I need to be sure I get the right one? Thanks.

Hi
You need a 289B/1AK 1" 3/32 THEY HAVE ONE LEFT.

Thanks Andy but spending nearly £200.00 overhauling the old carb means I don't feel like spending another £400.00 on a new amal I actually had another pre-monoblock carb which was too long to fit the mod 18, I cut 20mm out of the inlet tract with a hacksaw and glued the two pieces back together, a real bodge, but it works. I got my first run on my AJS 18, great fun. A thumbs up for JB weld.

Can we see a picture of this enterprising bodge ?

Cannot see any way to attach photos, it is not the first time I have failed to attach photos, any help would be welcome.

Well photos show the bodge with the cut out piece on top, and the old dear herself, anybody recognise her?

No idea, unless the file is too large.
