This is absolutely an appropriate  query to the NBTG. I expect you'll have
some helpful responses. I personally am surprised that Apple Hydraulics
seems to have botched the job - they're supposed to be the best.

Not sure I would consider Apple Hydraulics the best at Carb rebuilding, I had Joe Curto https://www.britishsuperior.com/  rebuild mine a few years back and while expensive he did great work. Also Ken's carb rebuilding (Poolboy) (Google it with carb rebuild and you will find him) is well respected in the Triumph community but I have no first hand experience.

that someone out in Triumph world can provide some clarification on =
carburetors.&nbsp; Currently, Zenith Stromberg carbs on my 1975 =
TR6.&nbsp; The car has been running poorly since Trimphest (too many =
RPMs?).&nbsp; And then it died completely but turned out to need a new =
rotor.&nbsp; Asked the mechanic, Mike, to take a look at the everything =
to figure out what can be made better.&nbsp; What he found was the carbs =
were dumping gas into the cylinders especially when starting, to the =
point the gas was washing down the cylinder walls preventing the rings =
from sealing.&nbsp; Result was a lot of white smoke.<br><br>The carbs =
were rebuilt about 18 months ago by Apple Hydraulics in New York.&nbsp; =
Supposedly all new parts including a new piston in one of the =
carbs.&nbsp; Mechanic Mike is questioning the quality but . . .&nbsp; =
Several paths to try:<br><br>1.&nbsp; New needles and basic over =
haul.&nbsp; Least expensive but maybe stopgap measure.<br><br>2.&nbsp; =
Rebuild these carbs using a different shop.&nbsp; Mike recommends a shop =
in Colorado. I=E2=80=99m would worry about a 2nd rebuild in short period =
of time.<br><br>3.&nbsp; Replace the carbs.<br>3a.&nbsp; Mike has a pair =
of SU carbs in good shape.&nbsp; Mike would replace =E2=80=9Cconsumables=E2=
=80=9D and install<br><br>3b.&nbsp; Find a pair Stromberg =
carbs<br><br>3c.&nbsp; Mike likes carbs by Mikuni<br><br>3c.&nbsp; =
Replace with Webers<br><br>Any ideas / suggestions on what path seems =
the best?<br><br>Hope all the world is going well for all.&nbsp; Hope to =
see everyone at Velocity.<br><br><br>Thank you,<br>Frank =

Take a close look at the choke fast idle cam being fully off and that 
the chokes themselves are working properly... must be removed to check..

I 've rebuilt many Strombergs, I just rebuilt the ones on my TR250.  I had
one carb spilling gas all over.
The needle valve was hanging up right out of the box. Replaced the needle
valve and all was good.  There seems to be problems with some of the new
needle valves.
Easy fix.
