[TR] Start up

[Bud]

Usually when a Triumph starts without being choked it means the float bowl needles are sticking a bit open. Dump the contents of your float bowls into a white bowl to see if there's any small particles that might be causing the needles to stick.
I dump my ZS float bowls annually, and always before a long road trip, and I have two different gas filters, but stuff always shows up in spite of coating the gas tank.

Checked the carbs and found the forward carb would tend to increase a bit when I lifted the piston a bit.  Adjusted the nut (upwards) to lean it out until that didn't seem an issue.  Ran the engine.  Shut it off.  Waited.  Re-started without the throttle easily.
