Float Tickler Kit - to fit Original Amal TT, RN and 276/289 Float Chambers - 4 Parts

4 part tickler kit to fit original Amal TT, RN and Type 276/289 (standard size) float chambers. This float tickler fits the standard screw in (Type 76) floatchamber top - and is CNC machined by us to the original tickler design and dimensions. 

As can be seen from the photos, these tickler kits consist of the tickler pin, a small lock ring (which fits under the float chamber lid, a tickler spring and a split pin.  An original Amal tickler mechanism was used as the the template and dimensions of our items are identical. 

Original ticklers on all Amal floatchambers were of this design from approximately the late 1920's through to the introduction of the Monoblock - and on well used carbs can be heavily worn, like the one shown in the photo here - and when worn often wobble about, or completely shear and drop out.

Our tickler pin and collar are CNC machined in brass, then satin nickel plated- as per the original design . . . and look very pretty.  We have also had the correct original spring design replicated, and the result is a float tickler that - once fitted -  gives a nice firm fit, and a very satisfying 'tickle' . . . i.e. not wobbling about like worn originals, and the correct spring ensures it is fully tensioned (unlike many original springs which have rusted or worn and lost their tension.

I have seen other 'tickler' kits availble in the past - but most use just a washer to secure the tickler pin to the top . . . ours use the correct stepped collar which holds firmly and evenly to the base of the floatchamber top - a small but important part of the design.  

The accompanying photos shows the two most common Amal floatchamber top that these tickler assemblies were fitted to - the most common type being the cast pewter type, with'Amal' cast in, and the earlier pre-war chromed type . . . these tickler kits fit both types.

Note - we also manufacture a similar tickler set to fit the later (larger capacity) Amal RN/GP Type 302 float chamber, which has a longer tickler shaft - See Item 0174
