SLIDE 389 #4 ANODISED AL
Amal 389-series carburetor throttle slide, #4 cutaway, anodised aluminum.
This is the throttle slide for an Amal 389-series carburetor, cut to the #4 profile and finished in anodised aluminum. The slide is the piece that rides up and down inside the carb body, and its cutaway shape is what shapes throttle response off idle - the number stamped on it (here, 4) tells you which cutaway you're getting.

We don't have much more detail on file for this one beyond the part number and the fact that it's the anodised aluminum version. If you're matching a slide to a carb you're rebuilding, bring us the carb body number or the old slide so we can confirm it's the right fit before you order.
It also shows up under the number 389/0604HA in some records, so if that's what's printed in your parts book or on an old invoice, it's the same piece.
