    Hi Everyone, I have an '81 Triumph TR8 Fuel Injected that I am doing some work on. This car was marketed in Canada as an '82 and that is the year on its ownership, although it is clear from researching online that production ceased in 1981. I found this forum by looking for information on...

    Wedge TR8 starter solenoid details?

    I have a TR8 that's so massively unreliable I don't dare drive it. Virtually every time I do, it dies somewhere, won't restart, and ends up being towed home.

    Wedge TR8 Zenith Stromberg carbs slow deceleration

    I have a 1980 TR8 with 175CD Zenith Stromberg carbs. Car has lots of power but the engine decelerates very slowly from 2500 RPM to idle. They have new diaphragms, good idle speed at 750 RPM. Mixture seems to be good and both carbs are nicely synchronized. The throttle linkage is free and the...
