THROTTLE SLIDE #3 ANODISE
Amal carburetor throttle slide, cutaway #3, anodised finish.
This is an Amal throttle slide, cutaway number 3, with an anodised finish. The slide fits into the carburetor body and moves up and down on the throttle cable to control airflow through the venturi, which is a big part of how the engine responds off idle and through the midrange.

The cutaway number stamped into the slide (in this case, #3) refers to the shape ground into the front edge, which affects the fuel-air mixture as the slide starts to lift. Getting the right cutaway matters for how the carb pulls off idle, so if you're replacing a worn slide, it's worth checking what number was in the bike before swapping it out.
We don't have much more detail on file for this one beyond the catalog listing itself. If you're not sure this is the right cutaway or the right slide for your carb body, give us a call and we'll help sort it out before you order.
