Ahhh...
Another Triumph falls victim to the much feared DPO disease.
(Dreaded Previous Owner).
I've got some good war stories to swap on that topic, as well.
Glad you found it!

Subject: Power Loss Update 2
Thanks to all of the listers who helped sort out the power loss problem
I was experiencing. In the end it came down to improper float height.
The previous owner of the carbs had installed Grose Jets and replaced
the "soft aluminum washer" under the jet as instructed by Haynes, but
never paid attention to the all important float height. Height with the
washers in place was 26-27mm versus the 16-17 recommended. No wonder I
was running out of fuel at higher rpms! Running much better now that
the bowls are actually getting some fuel in them!
