I've just removed the carbs due to the fact I couldn't adjust the pilot screw on one side.
On removing the carb I can see the **** that had the bike before me had almost destroyed the head on the screw!
I have managed to remove it and could adjust it carefully if the carb is out of the bike!
Is there anyone that supplies these screws. I've tried to search but can't find anything on the net. Or, is there any other solution?
Thanks,
Jon

You can get them from hermys.com. just email them or call them if they aren't listed. Or you order the aftermarket type that has a thumbscrew for adjusting w/o tools from some of the sites that carry aftermarket triumph parts like bellecourse or brent. Not sure which have them, but i'm pretty sure brent does.

Make sure you order 2. And, don't lose the spring and little tiny o-ring that's up in the bore.....

Thanks everyone.
£17.99 direct from Triumph for a Pilot screw kit! whatever that may be, probably the spring and o ring.
