Dear all, I have trawled the messages for info on single carb jetting on a 930 concentric. Could folks in the know please confirm these settings may be OK?
280 Main Jet, 106 Needle Jet, No.3 Throttle Valve, 25 Pilot Jet, Needle in middle position.
I intend to order a new Premier 930 from Burlen soon.
Thanks in advance. Jack

Thankyou Phil. So the only variation to jetting on your Atlas was the 270 main jet? I am close to needing the carb. I was going to use a bellmouth with gauze to stop small birds, stones etc. entering. I take it the K&N mesh is none too restrictive too?

Every bike varies. The settings are only a guideline. Valve wear, minor manifold leaks and air filters will all affect the running.
I used a K&N type of filter because it does a good job of keeping out most of the road and air debris but does not greatly affect the jet sizes. On my Atlas, at the yearly service, I used to clean and then dunk the filter in old oil to wet it. This then helps to filter out some of the finner dust.
Another point worth a mention. The Premier carbs are supposed to be much better made than the old Amals of the 60s & 70s. In this respect they allegedly have finer build tolerances and hence run more efficiently. Implying that a slightly smaller main jet, than originally recommended, can be used.

Cheers Phil. I think I might order it up today then. 270 main jet.
I've fittedtwo1974 Mk2a's with a single Premier & two pairs on RE Interceptors. All worked perfectly with no juggling of jets, just a tweak of the air screws. I like them a lot.

Your settings are what I used on my Commando but the carb was a 932 Premier. On my 1965 Atlas I tried both a 930 and 932. The 930 was much easier to tune for idling and low revs. I used a 270 main jet plus a K&N type of mesh filter. Usual story of trial and error, frequently checking the plug colour. This combination always gave easy starting plus 60 mpg when fast cruising.
