[TR] Triumphs Digest, Vol 2, Issue 282

[Joe Curry]

Harve,
In a nutshell, there is not a recommended combination for that carb set and
our engine.  This is because Triumph never did put HS2's on a 1500.  So the
best you can hope for is to find someone who has done that and pick his
brain.

You will also have to compare how that person's engine was built against
yours because differences in the configurations will mean a difference in
which needle will perform the best.

You will probably have to buy several needles and evaluate them all to
arrive at what is best for your configuration.

Joe

 Greetings mjb..

I am not really trying to "fix" anything!  

I just want to know what combination of spring and needle should be used
in my situation - a US 1500 1978 Triumph Spitfire with HS2's (tagged
AUC9831 & AUC9831R - handmarked on the top AUD9253 & AUD9256) I use K&N
filters and a 4-2-1 exhaust manifold. 

I am using AN needles. I have no idea what springs are in place.

I hope to get a rec from someone who has a similiar setup, or who may
have expertise that I don't!

tks

Harve
