If any of you recall this post from last year, you'll know that the Huntmaster kit arrived with an Amal 928 Concentric carburetter:
Now that we are getting around to fitting the cylinder head, we'll need to sort out the jetting for this carburetter. A plea to the AOMCC forum revealed that revered Huntmaster rider Steve's FH is fitted with a 626 Concentric with a 200 main jet and a 3 1/2 slide with the needle clip in the middle position.
The difference between a 928 and a 626 is the body size - the 900 series is the larger. The 600 Series comes in 22mm, 24mm, 26mm and 27mm bore sizes and the 900 Series in 28mm, 30mm, and 32mm bore sizes. Presumably a 626 has a 26 mm throat and a 928 has a 28 mm throat; for the record, 28 mm is just over 1 3/32".
As you'll know from this post, this FH is built to Cyclone spec, more or less equivalent to a Road Rocket. Later Road Rockets use a 1 1/8" Monobloc; earlier ones use a 1 1/16" 10TT9 with a 340 main jet, so this 928 should be there or thereabouts but jetting it might be fun. We learned from the forum that Concentrics run about 10% richer than Monoblocs, so we should fit 10% smaller jets and a slide one size smaller.
Standard fitting for the 1958 FH is a 376/12 Monobloc, which is 1 1/16" throat diameter. Jetting is as follows:
- Size: 1 1/16"
- Main Jet: 240
- Pilot Jet: 25
- Needle Jet: 106
- Needle Position: 3
- Slide: 3 1/2
- The carb parts list indicates it uses ferrule 6/132A, which means it doesn't have cable adjusters.
Standard fitting for the 1958 Road Rocket is a 376/36 Monobloc, which is 1 1/8" throat diameter. Jetting is as follows:
- Size: 1 1/8"
- Main Jet: 290
- Pilot Jet: 35
- Needle Jet: 106
- Needle Position: 3
- Slide: 3 1/2
The kit 928 R300 is set up like this:
- Size: 28 mm or 1 3/32"
- Main Jet: 210
- Pilot Jet: None, drilling only; apparently 0.0016 but I understand these can be drilled out and a jet fitted
- Needle Jet: 106
- Needle Position: 3
- Slide: 3 1/2
- It hasn't got any cable adjusters.
