I fired up all the bikes yesterday and you guessed it the Triumph ran like doo doo...the pilot jets need to be cleaned AGAIN ! it probably only set for a month straight...and it did get in the 90's a few days ago but honnestly that bike must hate me ! !!!!!
it ran fine above 2000 rpm but trying to get it to idle was a no-go thing again
I suppose I should sell it as I do not ride it anywhere near enough !
even the Ninja fired right up as it always does and warmed up fairly fast with the 85 deg. day.... ( it likes the warm !)
....
there must be something with the new fuel like it thickens up if it sets....
i don't know , but at least with the new carbs their easier to clean than the old carbs ! LOL.....
