[TR] Triumph shop repair blues

[thenicholls at verizon.net]

Thanks Randall, I figured everyone was out today enjoying the fall weather.

I will let the shop handle it, it is their issue.  The problem for me is it is pain to get there and pickup.

Thanks again...........Craig

Yes, that is usually what happens. Should be no problem, fill it again,
drive to shop. That small amount of oil won't hurt the engine (tho it's
possible you might notice a little blue smoke).

Or replace that pesky O-ring yourself, it's not hard at all once you know
how. But you will probably need to reset the mixture again, afterwards.
