I'm curious to know if there is anyone in the Ottawa, ON area that has had experience messing around with the carbs on a Hinckley Triple.

I just bought a 95 T-Bird, and she's running really rich. (blowing a good amount of black smoke)

I've just ordered a K & N filter for the airbox. I'm going to take on the job of putting it in. I was thinking that if there is someone in the area that has had experience with the Mikuni carbs, they might not mind lending a hand to help me see if there is any tweaking needed. (while I've got everything pulled off already)

I'll buy the beer!!

There are a few of us in Ottawa with TB/TBS

The K&N install isn't difficult at all, but playing with the carbs is a bit more than I have undertaken so far.

There are plenty of good descriptions of how to adjust carbs throughout this site. If they haven't been adjusted in any way other than the mixture screws, you should be able to "zero" them and then set them to any of the configurations described on here.

See you around Ottawa!
