Some of your mechanics conclusions seem a bit dubeous. I would get a second
opinion. It may not be your carbs.
Did you do a compression check? White smoke typically is antifreeze; i.e head
gasket.
Strombrrg carbs are generally bullet proof and very simple. Iâ??ve had many
carbs on many Triumphs over the years and never had any issues for the most
part. Even carbs that had been sitting for 20-30 years, no overhaul and they
worked. The only issue I had recently on one was a burr on the one of the
pistons that caused it to hang up. Check the checkvalves in the float bowls;
they tend to stick. I had one stuck open, another stuck closed along with the
burr on one piston and the only symptom was power loss.
