really ran poorly when it was cold, popping and almost clicking out at
times.
Sometimes happened at sustained high rpm's.

First, change points and condenser. Cheap enough and as Brad can attest, the
"new Lucas" ones can go out like a light bulb.
Check the float bowls for debris and change the fuel filter. I didn't
understand the comment about fuel stabilizer, but if the car has been setting
for awhile and you put the carb cleaner in the tank, you most likely loosened
up some crud (technical term, see triumph list for complete explaination) or
rust, and this has clogged the fuel filter, starving the carbs.
If this doesn't work, and there's no evidence of oil in the water (blown head
gasket)...wait for Frank C. to reply.
