Usually when a Triumph starts without being choked it means the float bowl n=
eedles are sticking a bit open. Dump the contents of your float bowls into a=
 white bowl to see if there's any small particles that might be causing the n=
eedles to stick.
I dump my ZS float bowls annually, and always before a long road trip, and I=
 have two different gas filters, but stuff always shows up in spite of coati=
ng the gas tank.
