Ed,
Thanks for the info. The consensus seems to be that the BL Repair Operations
Manual for the TR6 is in error concerning lifting the carb piston 1/4 inch.
Clearly, 1/4" is too high to lift it and expect it to continue running.
Thanks, Greg Hutmacher

Greg,
Sorry I haven't gotten back to you but I needed to have time to dig out my
reference book, "Service Instruction Manual TR2 Triumph", the Big Red Book.
The section on the fuel system, "P", page 24 reads, "The balance of the
mixture strength should be checked by independently lifting the pistion of
each carburettor no more than 1/32". Note the "...not more than". I've been
doing carb adjustments this way since my first copy of this book back around
'59 or '60; always with good results. If the engine didn't stall when the
piston was lifted 1/4", I'd know something was very wrong.
Regards,
Ed Woods
