I hate to be a spoilie, but one of the Unwritten Rules of Triumphs (tm)
that are supposed to be passed on from owner to owner via telepathy, is
that you must adjust the valves BEFORE fiddling with the carbs.  Otherwise
you will end up having to adjust the carbs twice.

I think that maladjusted valves can cause the engine to shake like you
describe... anyone else?
