<<fellow triumph enthusiasts:
having replaced the rear spring and decided the brakes and steering are
road worthy on the spit for the short term, I fired it up and took a little
spin around the neighborhood (first time since I bought it)
interesting that what I assumed a previous owner had installed as the
manual choke cable to go with the Weber he/she installed was frozen, I got
it started by pumping a lot until it warmed up I followed the cable to the
carburetor, it attaches to a lever at the *base* (i.e., manifold side of
the carb beyond the throttles)- i'm used to seeing choke butterflies
*outboard* from the throttles- i opened the throttles to see if there is
some sort of butterfly/slide and i can't see anything move when i move the
lever is this the choke and how does it work? is there anyone reading this
with a single weber setup and who would be willing to get a bunch of
questions about the distributor setup that works best with Weber>>

What type of Weber is it? Last year i installed a Weber DGV carb with the
manual choke. I also installed a Crane electronic ignition and the setup
works fine.
