Maybe the collective FOT Group might have some thoughts.

I am having what appears to be a loading of one of the Carbs.  I have a lot of triumph brain trust around me.  It only happens in medium speed left handers (coming out of the chicagne and turn 6.  I had a similar problem in Seattle last week.  Although I didn't have problems in other left hand turns there.  
So what have I done.   
Checked the floats and float needles. All good
Checked float needles. Set fine.  
I run trans fluid in the dampners ( my dyno guy wants me to)   I found the levels to be waydifferent - corrected that for tomorrow.  
Jeff Quick found a frayed wire in the distributor.  Replaced
Fuel pressure 2.7psi 

Any other thoughts?  

Runs great down the straights and fine in right handers.  

Thanks.

Mike.
