Amal (carburettor)

AMAL were a British engineering company servicing the motorcycle and other light-engineering motor industries between 1927 and 1993 based in Birmingham, England.

AMAL is a British carburettor trademark. Amal were the suppliers of carburettors to many marques within the British motorcycle industry including the largest of British manufacturers, such as BSA and AMC, and to producers of small industrial engines.

The main carburettor types commonly associated with Amal are slide carburettors for motorcycles. These were historically distinguishable as two types, the Monobloc with integral, offset float chamber and Concentric, a later development with repositioned float chamber directly under the body and air-slide.

Less-common types known as GP and TT were mainly for road-racing and other competition use, but were used on high-performance road machines such as BSA Gold Star, BSA Spitfire and Velocette Thruxton.

Amal also produced handlebars and control levers for the motorcycle industry, via a subsidiary business, Lozells Engineering, twist grips, cables and wire, plus ICI silicone grease. All AMAL chromium plated components were stated to be finished in "Nickel Chromium Plating, British Standard Approved."

Amal's light-alloy levers with click-stop adjusters 509/001 brake and 509/002 clutch were taken-over by BSA and marketed under their 'Motoplas' accessories branding from 1967, with Doherty taking-over production of the traditional chromed-steel levers.

With the decline of the British motorcycle industry the use of Amal carburettors declined, but they are still produced under different ownership as spares for the classic market.
