Inherited my late father's 75 TR6 this past fall. My mom still has his 1958 MGA that he got in 1982 and restored about 5 years ago. She gave me choice between the 2 and said the TR6 rode better than the MG even though I learned to drive a manual transmission in the MG. I have only driven the TR6 once before he fell into ill heath and passed. I know the carbs need to be rebuilt since fuel leaks from the bottom of one of the bowels and I found a rebuild kit for them in his stuff. I am looking forward to having a weekend driver and working on it. Other than the carbs it seems to be in great shape, I look for ward to reading through the forums and asking lots of questions. Don't know if anyone here is in the Tampa Bay are but my dad was very active with the Florida Suncoast MG Car Club. Bob Cannarella.

Hi Andy and welcome to the BCF. The O-ring on the bottom of the float bowl dries out and leaks, so it may be as simple as replacing the O-rings where the plug enters on the bottom of the float bowl.
Post your questions in the "Triumph" section and you'll get all the help you need!
 
Thanks Elliot. I already pulled the bowl before I knew that plug could pop out. :friendly_wink: So I am committed to going ahead and just pulling the whole thing off. and clean it up. Luckily my dad had rebuild kits already, the manuals, and the tools to tune it afterward. The bowl had some grit in it so probably worth doing it. Gotta start somewhere.
