I had not realized that the Japanese had copied the Amal. I can say they did a vastly better job if they stole the design.

Well, I had a different result. I could always get better carburation and better top end with an Amal compared to that tractor carburetor called the "Bing". But Bings did seem to work well on German and Austrian and Czech two strokers. I never got into tuning two strokes. I couldn't stand the noise. I never had an Amal that leaked. I also never had an Amal Concentric, of which I have never heard good things except in the magazine road tests.
