Is there any reason to assume that the carbs were ever set up for the
Triumph engine? (In case you don't realise) SU's are calibrated by needle
changes, the profile of the needle being quite specific to the engine and
its exact specification. The jet adjustment is only to fine tune the idle
mixture.
You can get somewhere near the correct calibration by trial and error, but
the only real way is a dyno session by someone who knows SU's.
