Jetting Amal Mk1 Concentrics for Vincent Twins, and Singles

(These specifications are for 32mm 932 carbs)

I will show jetting specs here that I have used for 1,000cc Vincent Rapides, and Black Shadows using Mk1 standard cams, and low compression. Then for those with hotter motors, I will include the jetting I use on my 1,164cc Big Bore motor using Mk2 "Lightening" cams, and 10:1 compression. These numbers might not be absolutely correct for all Vincents, but it will offer a very close base line for you to fine-tune by.
