Restoration of 1951 Vincent Rapide - Part 20 - Amal Pre-Monobloc Carburetors (Part 1)
In this video, I'm removing the pre-monobloc carbs from the bike in order to inspect and clean them.
Both appear to be in very good condition and just have a little wear due to being stood for so long.
I'll share more about the carb models themselves in the next video, but they are not quite what they appear to be!
Gasket sets are on order and the next video will show the rebuild and refit.
Buy me a coffee? ☕ 😉

Terrific, thanks Gary. Best wishes, Mike
Love the mug at 3:43
There was me handing you the handle end of my hammer just in case it required the very lightest of persuasion Mike. atvb t ..
Well ! That came apart very easily, not sure the dining room table was the best choice, cant you bolt a vice on there? Will you paint the carb body as original ? If you do make sure you use fuel proof paint, some of the model aeroplane paints are fuel proof to the modern stuff they call petrol, you ultrasonic cleaner is a must have !
Dang, if your wife saw that video she'd make you buy a new dining table!

Hehe. Or at least a new tablecloth, right 😜
Nice work 👌 very informative to watch. Does anybody know, where I can find an Amal 289aab carb? I need at least one complete for my motorbike...
What a really helpful video. Just troubleshooting an AMAL carb for a Sunbeam S7 so, for a novice like me, this is hugely helpful. Thank you. Can you share the diagram? It could be really helpful if I need to strip mine down. Not sure yet if I need to get to that point.

Hi John, thanks a lot for your note. You should be able to find the parts exploded diagrams on the new Burlen / Amal company website. Here's a link to their website. If you click on your carb, they should have a parts list / diagram that will show everything you might need for your model. Best wishes, Mike. amalcarb.co.uk

Mi Ty, thank you. That is really helpful and much appreciated. Posted a video on KZread of starting the bike for the first time!!! Or at least first time started for 5 years and first time I know of starting it with a kick start rather than a tow since 2003! It is my first Sunbeam so lovely to hear the sound of her. 😁

@@johnmurray6943 Thank you John! I just watched your video. I love your bike. They are so iconic and it sounds great. Please do let us see more of it whenever you get the chance! Here's a link if anyone wants to see and hear it! Best wishes, Mike. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z6Wlma2EfKq5c5c.html
easier to loosen the large nuts while the carb is still on the engine.
Really helpful playlist - currently working on my late father's series C rapide. What settings a fluid do you use in your ultrasonic cleaner?

Thanks Frank. I'm sorry to hear about your Dad. I just crank the UC up to the highest temperature and then run it for 10 mins with a 80% water / 20% simple green (purple color) solution. Then stir the parts around a little and repeat for another 10 mins. That usually does it really well Best wishes with your bike.
Sheesh.. you posh Vincent owners doing your stripping and cleaning on a polished table. Glad no crap came out.

You should have worn white silk gloves while working on the carburetors.
