Yesterday I discovered where they go and am almost embarrassed to say where but I should end the mystery for those who may be wondering. They are the springs that go on the back side of the Bypass Valve diaphragms. I’d forgotten to install them when I’d broken down and overhauled the carbs 20 months ago. No wonder I couldn’t get the carbs to run right.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>Nobody wins the kewpie doll.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>Gary<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> William Smith <br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, July 14, 2019 10:40 PM<br><b>To:</b> tr6.guy@verizon.net<br><b>Cc:</b> triumphs@autox.team.net<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: Mystery Springs<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Gary, while I have no idea how they would get anywhere near the carbs (unless dropped there by accident), those springs look very much like those which are on the backside of the wheel center decoration pieces on the TR6 that the wheel nuts go through (black ones on the early 6's, and silver on the later ones). BTW, those springs also fit the back of the wheel covers on TR7's with steel wheels.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Bill Smith <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>'72 TR6<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>'80 TR7 <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div id="composer_signature"><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.5pt;color:#575757'>Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></body></html>
