Are all Triumphs as weird as mine?
I have stripped, cleaned and rebuilt the carb on my 59 5TA, replacing all gaskets and seals plus the filter. Upon refitting the carb the bike started OK, I tinkered about trying to set it up and seemed to be getting on fine, although the plugs are telling me it's a bit rich. Anyhow as it was idling away (the engine was fairly warm by now) it just stopped and no amount of trying would get it to start again. It's generating a healthy spark and fuel is getting through as depressing the tickler floods it as normal
I will try it again tomorrow when it's cooled down.
Any ideas?
