All:
The thing about owning two Triumphs is that it's like having a pair of
Pugs -- pay attention to one, and the other gets jealous. My GT6 throws
a u-joint, and now ...
My '72 TR6 suddenly runs so rich, the plugs foul in short order
(showing the black sooty plug evidence after a few hours running time).
Lots of white smoke, too. Any ideas as to what would cause this? I set
the mixture a couple months ago to spot-on, the K&N air filters weren't
dirty (but I'm cleaning them anyway), and the carburetors were
professionally rebuilt a couple years ago by the PO.
The choke setting seems normal too, at first glance. Hmm.
I haven't gotten into the mixture settings yet, but those don't just up
and change themselves (unlike women).
