Dave, I posted a long dissertation on PI woes some 4-6 weeks ago. Who
ever you are talking to is teliing you a pile of &%**@@##.
Many PI systems work just fine on unleaded without ANY change at all. It
appears to be linked to exact petrol brands. I cannot give specific
advice.
The specific problem indicates you have the "bung seals" behind the
outlet fittings breaking up. You can changfe these yourself with a
little bit of care and lots of rubber grease. read the manual!!! Any
large triumph parts supplier will stock them. The latest spec (nitrile)
rubber ones are best with unleaded.
A correctly set-up PI cannot go Off in weeks as suggested. This is
absolute rot and dispays ignorance on the part of the offeror of the
comment. I have fixed them since new , having done the Lucas training
course when PI's were still sold new. My TR5 has not been touched
in the PI area for over 50,000 miles!!.
Mostly, the problems stemmed for poor/wrong repairs by well meaning
mechanics with no PI skills, and/or non PI related problems like
worn-out Lucas ignition distributors. basically, thru the 1970's , they
experimented on owners. Owners on the other hand had never had to spend
so much money on a "carby" and were completly unprepared for large bills
associated with fine tolerance (diesel style) equipment.
Once you fix your bung seals, you should reclean the injectors with low
pressure compressed air (gently), and all should be well again.
Be patient & dont convert to carbs
