You won't need a shim with the thrux needle.
You can probably get away with the 110s but 115s would be better.
You need D tool to adjust the pilot screws.
There is a mob in Adelaide Show and Go that will sell you jets over the phone and post them out.
I may have some 115s in the shed you can have I will have a look later.
Alos try pullin the snorkel out from the airbox.

Can anyone shed some light here because all I remember about carbs is there were some notches and you just move the clip up or down a notch in the needle.

What should I do and how should I do it? Please and thankyou
Just about the best visual guide I've seen online to messing with the Bonnie family's carbs is at Dinqua's site:

http://www.dinqua.com/Triumph/carbs1.html

Dinqua's tutorial is for the America but the T100 has the same carbs. You should be able to get away with leaving the carbs in the bike if you don't mind it being a bit more awkward. If all you're changing is the main jet, it doesn't take long.

You don't say whether the carbs have had the cross-headed float bowl bolts replaced with good quality hex-headed (allen key) bolts, but this is advisable to do at the same time, especially if you think you might want to open the carbs again (say, when you change to a free-flow air filter and up the jet size again).

I called my local triumph mechanic and he said that after installing new pipes all they do is remove the Air Injection and that's it.

He said 9 time out of 10 that richens it up enough to stop backfiring etc.

So, I guess I'll give it a go...
