I've noticed that on these Amal carbs that they do have a tendancy to stick in the down position for some reason I finally cured that on the old set of carbs by setting the floats level with the top of the bowl... I didn't check the new carbs I guess I should have....
....if I have to pull the carbs again I am going to CURE the funky "O" ring soft hold of the carbs once and for all... the studs need the threads cut all the way down the shaft, not just 1/4" down them. they do that because the Amal carbs warp real easily but the carbs have to be tight on there ! their fix didn't fix it at all !
.... it just seems that every time I think I am done working on the Triumph something else crops up and I have more work to do on it.... I'm beginning to wonder if getting this old dinosaur was a good move or not !
LOL.....
