A friend of mine 's been having some problems with the amals on his eight porter... Can anyone recommend a good specialist i could talk to for some advise?

I have run Amals on an 8 port for some time, before switching to Weber DCOE carbs.

If you explain what the issues are it might help - are the issues running issues, mechanicals issues etc

Amal carbs are motorbike slide carbs and are tricky to make ' driveable' on an A series.

you can do a bit of self teaching by reading up on how they work and most parts are available, its just a bit of a gamble buying four sets of whichever part when theres no readily available reference to what you should be fitting.

These guys but to sell you new ones or you could try a vintage motorcycle shop.
