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.
