1956 Triumph T110 Pre Unit - Fitting a new Amal Monobloc carburetor 

It's great that Amal still makes these carbs for our bikes. I recently helped a friend put a new monobloc on his 57 Trophy. The bike wasn't running great on the old carb, but with the new one it started right up and ran like a champ.

Best looking 50's Triumph for me, that one sounds really crisp! Very jealous - again!

That is one of the nicest looking British bikes. Good that they're still making the Amal carb. I have one on my 1960 BSA 650, runs great.

IMHO the Triumph pre unit is the sexiest motorcycle engine/ gearbox combo in the world.

what a lovely old trumpet

Had to charge the carburetor on my 1969 tr-6r 650 . The guy at the shop said it was bad idle to high. Put the new one in same problem ! The asshole made the cable to short !! I was only sixteen learned my lesson well . Brought the bike from my next door neighbor for $175.00 Had to do top end. Nice first bike. 74 cab 750 ,1978 Ducati 900 gets, 1980 motoguzzi sp 1000 Fun days . 🏍

Answered all my questions (main one was 'does it really need a choke?') I'm road-readying an extremely used B40, and about the only thing I spent real money on was the carb. It had a different Amal to stock and being an SS90 it made sense to go with the monobloc, but what really clinched it was the state of the fuel tank. It took rust remover, acetone, petrol and big bolts, lots of shaking and three sessions of electrolysis before it was fit for use.

It's great when they idle, I never seemed to have that luxury when I had bikes in my youth.

That sounds fantastic. I have 1957 t100 love it. Thanks for the video

That triumph sounds beautiful Mike another great job done

Excellent video! Thanks Mike! Sounds great with the new carb! I had dual amal concentrics on my Norton MK2 which I'd built some confidence adjusting. When I got my 53 Triumph 6T it had dual amals as well and I didn't think that much about it. Once I got it on the road I spent a long time futzing with them and just couldn't get the right balance. After struggling with jets etc I went back and forth with Ace with questions about how they should be jetted. The patient Ace guys kept replying with increasingly strong statements that the RIGHT carb for the bike was the 276 pre-mono... Finally I listened and went back to a new original one. Its run soooo much better ever since. Lesson learned - I'd spent more time and money trying to get the wrong carb right then just trusting the original engineering and getting the right carb on the bike. Thanks for sharing your experience here!

😜👍 sounds great Mike

That bike sounds beautiful!

Nothing like Carbporn,beautiful bike had many mates who had one but that one beats them all❤️

She is a thing of beauty! I've found sleeping old carbs & replacing with new Amals is definitely the way to go. The new slides are so much better. Also definitely no need for Chokes . Beautiful Trumpy Mike👍

Wow! Knowing (now!) that I can buy a brand new Amal carb......The old Ariel Cyclone might be getting an early Christmas present this year! And yes....as noted below, Triumphs always did have beautiful styling....

At the end of the test ride I think I could see your smile when you were still 50 feet away! Beautiful bike.

That gives me hope. I have some new Amal concentrics on back order for to hopefully solve the starting and running issues on my BSA Spitfire

What an absolute joy to watch and now your baby has a new lease of life and well done Mike , you care for her with so much feeling and passion 👍 .

I wish I had £1 for every time I took out an Amal slide.

Gorgeous machine Mike. Thx for bringing us along.

When Burlen/Amal released their premier concentrics,I wasted no time,fitting a pair to my Royal Enfield.I also did away with the choke. No more fiddling,set it and done.Perfect idle now! Mike,would you consider doing a tutorial on making and or modifying control cables, so as to optimize the length,to suit any particular machine? I really enjoy your videos.

That is a handsome bike,

I've worked on Amal carbs a good bit, never seen a new one fitted. That was nice, good to hear it fire right up and just need a bit of fiddling. That bike really sounds good. Thanks! I used to have a 64 TR6R, and in my experience, the single carb was always much easier to keep exactly right. I was riding with a couple guys with two carbs and enough wear they had to fiddle with them during rides. We couldn't afford "new carbs" back then, fifty years ago. Thanks for sharing this.

Great video, again. Love the detail. And for anyone intimidated by the thought of replacing a carb, this should give them the confidence to go ahead and do it.

Nice job - well done, sounds awesome!

Great job! Test rides are my favorite.

Nice bike and sounds great 👌just had a coffee and rich tea biscuit watching this, lovely 🇬🇧

Was wondering about the progress on the Manxman,just had a glimpse on the foreground.

Well you didn’t need the fire extinguisher 😀 Those Triumph’s always sound nice, a reminder from the past 👍 Have good one Mike 🍔🍟

A fantastic video as always you have more patience than me 👌👍

I overhauled the Concentrics on my 73 Tiger 750 and 72 Daytona. They were better, and usable, but after a few thousand miles bought new Amal Premiers, pre-jetted from Burlen. Perfect. Tickover and pickup is fine, WOT fine. Not cheap, but you know that new carbs just work and if there's still a problem, it's most likely not the carbs.

Nice !

Love this bike!

Nice Video Mike and the 110 sounds great

Of all the bikes you own, this has to be my favourite, looks wise. (Doesn’t sound bad either). Excellent new carb’, ran lovely from the moment it fired. Look forward to the clutch repair and hopefully a ride video. All the best👍🏼.

Nice Mike!!!!!! Love that bike!! I remember when you built the beauty!!! You waited a while before you showed this one to us !!! Enjoyed!!! Take care and God Bless!!!

Such a nice looking bike.

That's a very clean machine 👍

Very beautiful bike!

Nice work, Mike. Looking forward to the clutch video.

I think you gutted those mufflers! Best sounding Trumpet I’ve ever heard!👍👍 70 T120 owner.

Mike i really enjoyed this video. Your bike sounds Absolutely amazing. Great you fitted the new 'Amal 376 Monobloc Carburettor. 👌

Excellent job mike. I don’t like so much handlebar form but the sound it’s fantastic. Great

Love that bike Mike! ✌️

Best thing you can do for your resto is fit a new carb.....if you have twin concentric carbs like me get the new floats from Burlins as you can now set the float level un like those old crappy nylon ones

Awesome bike Mike! Love its color & she sounds rather mean for an old girl. You sure have her tuned well now too 👍

Gorgeous bike Mike and my birth year too! After seeing that nice new Amal I'm thinking of going the same route for my P11. Cheers.

Another nice video.thx Mike.

I know your a purist but if you try fitting a pair of carbs you can really have fun happy days

Nice bike mike!

Beauty - what a crisp sound. And how do you keep everything so shiny? - Protective spray?

Hi Mike,great job, man but that’s a beautiful 🤩 bike 🏍 can I take it for a test ride next time I’m over, lol 😂, just standing beside it would be sweeeeeeeeet, do you think I’d need silk gloves on to caress it, 😇🤩, it sure is one beautiful bike. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧🏍

Excellent, well explained video, thanks for sharing. Recently got a ‘78 Meriden Tiger 750 and I’m darned if it can get the carb right. I put it down to being my first Triumph and not being familiar with the Amal! I’ve heard some guys use a Mikuni substitute - is that a road worth going down but I must say, that new Amal looked nice.

I put a new carb on my 54 T110, didn't even muck about with the old one, awesome !! Cant find a Vokes element here in Australia, any ideas ? Beatiful bike, well done.

Very nice video Mike. Thanks for sharing. Would you gain any reliability and performance if you switched to an Amal concentric?

Nice job Mike! Interestingly, I grew up in the mid-70s i n Salisbury, UK and we had a small company called Burlen Services just around the corner from us. They specialised in carburettors and other tuning parts. I wonder if they are one and the same?

멋지네요

Top job Mike, what is the thinking behind removing the 'choke' after all these years when it assists on start up? Bike is looking & sounds a treat, reminds me of the start up following the rebuild however many years back (5 or 6) .. ? Have a great week. atvb t ..

Hi Mike - just re-watched this… such a great feeling when a new component just plugs in and works! What’s your main reason for deleting the choke? Cheers, Nigel

There is nothing like an English thumper. Press on!

Are the new Amals made from an aluminum alloy, or have they retained the zinc-based alloy Zamak?

Why do you want to blank the choke off? just curious .

Mate! Where did you get that t-shirt? I need that in my life👍
