Small turbo Amal should be unplugged completely if running most chips as they couldnt figure out how to stop it clicking and going mad so their professional "Fix" was to remove the power from it... roflol
The valve is located underneath teh slam panel ahead of the thermostat housing. Its also a pig to unplug

Amal valve pal.
Unplug it and you should find its ok, but get the boost carefully in case some goon has set the boost with it plugged in

Is your fuel pump still flowing perfect pressure and your fuel reg still maintaining that pressure with boost against it?
