 I heard a little while ago that the popping could be from looseness at the
head/exhaust header joint, or somewhere close to that. Check to make sure
the exhaust is tight up there, and/or has no leaks.

Subject: carb & air filter question


 I am working on a 74 Eldo I just picked up with Amal Carbs. When I let
off
 the throttle and am gearing down it pops through the mufflers. I have
played with the air screws and it has gotten better, but it is still
there.
 I have checked the carb intake gaskets and they are fine. Someone told
me
 this is a common problem with running amals on a Guzzi. Any ideas ?

Also does anyone know of a standard air filter that will fit the stock
ambo-eldo air box. I have heard one from a early VW bug will work, but
no
 
 dice. It would not fit into the box. Personally I run separate K&N's
on
 
 my bike, but I am just doing this one up for sale and would like to keep
it
 stock.
