THROTTLE SLIDE 276 #3.5
Amal 276-series carburetor throttle slide, cutaway #3.5.
This is a throttle slide for the Amal 276 series carburetor, cut to the #3.5 specification. The slide is the sliding piston inside the carb body that the throttle cable pulls up and down, controlling how much air (and with it, fuel) gets drawn into the engine as you roll on the throttle.

The cutaway number stamped on a slide (in this case 3.5) sets part of the carburetor's mixture curve, particularly off idle and through the early part of the throttle opening. If you're rebuilding a 276-series Amal or chasing a flat spot low in the rev range, matching the correct slide number to your existing jetting setup matters more than just grabbing whatever slide fits the bore.
We don't have a lot of extra history on this specific listing beyond the catalog line itself, so if you're not sure this is the right cutaway for your carb, give us a call and we'll help confirm before you order.
