Hi - I'm new to Triumphs and am considering buying a '79 Spitfire
1500. It appears to be in good shape, has all maintenance records and
only 24k miles on it.
I have a couple of questions....
1. The hood rattles when it idles. The seller showed me a couple of
little rubber plugs on the hood that have worn down, making the
hood a bit loose when closed. Does this sound reasonable? Are they
easy to find and replace?
2. It doesn't have a very smoothe idle. The seller claimed that you
don't want a smoothe idle. ???? Does this sound right?
3. There was some smoke coming out the exhaust. I saw a little black
smoke and a little grey. What would be a reasonable amount of
smoke? Is any amount reasonable?
Thanks!
Anthony
