66' Scarmble Project

The close-ups really showcase the superb attention to detail - big kudos! there are so many nice touches - especially like the rear sets and the use of Heim joints - are they rt and lh threads for adjustment? Gonna use those on mine, as well. Like the use of S/S hdwr. More details on your Amals and megaphone, please.
Beautiful and well executed job!

The Heim joints are std thread. The carbs are Amal 626-301 w/ chokes and used the std Honda throttle cable and splitter.

[Dick Eastman]

It appears your chokes are cable operated, and you used a second oem throttle cable for operation? Choke lever set-up?
How close was the jetting on the Amals, as purchased?

[moondoggers]

You can see the choke lever on the left side of the handlebars. The OEM split cables for the carburetors are short by about an 1/8", not letting the slides seat on the adjustment screws so we are having a pair made.
The carburetors came stock with #2.5 slides 160 main jet and 106 needle jet, running too rich, we bought a # 3.5 slide which leaned out the mixture, when the inclement weather clears we'll do more road testing.

Anything special in the motor?

Thanks for comments, she "Scarlet" is a beauty. Inside the motor is a Bore-Tech 358 kit, R/D valve spring kit for Honda 305, Charlie's Place Electronic ignition and a Barnett clutch . Valves are stock as is the cam. Transmission gears are X'd and I'm looking for a 16T front sprocket to to compliment the 37T at the rear.
Still breaking in the motor, so much fun to ride won't be long before I can do an extended ride.
