That screw controls the air for idling. Screw it in gently then back it out approx 1 1/2 turns.
Have you downloaded the Maintenance and Instruction Manual from the front page of this website? It is absolutely essential reading for the care of these machines
thanks for the reply. i have downloaded it but simply not found the relevant info at first glance (seems to be a phenomenon of the digital area: lack of patience ..).
after browsing through the doc 2nd time i have found info on page 51.
@rob: thanks a lot for the info about the amal carb.
thanks for your feedback. meanwhile i have readjusted the carb according to the data provided by rob. now it runs quite well but does not have a stable idle. when stopping at red lights i have to twist the throttle to keep the eninge running.
Who needs a tickover? Norton owners have a long tradition of blipping the throttle, whether it's to warm up a Manx or to beat a Gold Star away from the lights on a 16H :smile:
