Carb help please.
Bought a really nice 1948 AJS 18 with a worn out pre monoblock carb, sent off to get re-sleeved, months later and still waiting. A flea bay replacement was predictably perhaps no better than the original. I would like to fit a wassell carb until I get a pre monoblock sorted out, can anybody offer advice on type, jetting etc, the club spares scheme seems to have them but I need to be sure I get the right one? Thanks.

Thanks Andy but spending nearly £200.00 overhauling the old carb means I don't feel like spending another £400.00 on a new amal I actually had another pre-monoblock carb which was too long to fit the mod 18, I cut 20mm out of the inlet tract with a hacksaw and glued the two pieces back together, a real bodge, but it works. I got my first run on my AJS 18, great fun. A thumbs up for JB weld.

Well photos show the bodge with the cut out piece on top, and the old dear herself, anybody recognise her?
