Mike, thanks for tip and I look forward to seeing you at the show. It
turns out that the carbs had early non adjustable needles installed.
Kudos to Dick Taylor for thinking of that one! Why were they installed?
Don't know - but everytning else on the carbs matches my original 1975
3771 carbs exactly except that they have piston/needle assemblies from
early carbs. I put my original piston/needle assemblies in and tuned
per Nelson Riedel's excellent documentation site at the Buckeye Triumph
web site (Thanks Nelson, I printed the tech pages out for my three ring
binder!) and she runs great! Carbs done and ready to rock 'n roll.
Next up, decals and hardtop installation.
Thanks to everyone - yet again. I am soon to be finished and will post
pictures for everyone when finished.
