Hello again my friends,
I have taken alot of GREAT advice from some Triumph guru's on here and I wanted to ask another noobie question (Sorry Dr. Bill). I replaced the gaskets on my 175 Strombergs and adjusted the needles to a nice even mix and have the timing and plugs looking real good. The idle is around 900 and seems to have more power than usual. But after 2 or 3 days of limited driving I have seen a noticable amount of smoke coming from the exhaust and from the rear carb? Any recommendations or diagnoses?
Realted questions:
1)I used a synchrometer on both carbs to adjust, with the sych. wide open, and I do not seem to be getting a good amount of idle suction?
2)What exactly does the idle trimming screw achieve? I have read on the buckeye tutorials that it makes no difference except for testosterone to leave them closed?
Thanks again for helping me out,
W
