Notes

1 Lower needle
2 Panther Air Filter
3 For Pre-monobloc carbs a Std. needle jet was .106"
4 Cutaway /3 option
5 Panther parts list says 1 3/16", Amal list says 1 5/32"
6 Correct for Model 60, 65 and Stroud Mark II 250 in this period
7 Ref 6 says Amal 274 J/3J D.D. with Needle position as Middle Notch
8 Ref 7 show Jet Size 100 for 1935 350cc
9 There is some confusion about M120 settings
