In 2006 the EPA banned the sale of tickler carburators in the US. So, if you have a late model Triumph (1980 and older), and need to replace your carbs, then you will have to go with one of the newer none tickler carbs that are available.



Banned them all together? That really sucks, I have a bunch of bikes that use that type of carb and have no choke on them. (either been removed or was useless or both). I have done plenty of restoration jobs where I bought new Amal ticklers for them. Most recent were a 68 BSA Lightning and a 73 850 Commando. Funny the carbs for the Commando were the same casting as a Triumph so I had to file the body a little so they wouldn't hit each other when installed.



So does that mean, If you are restoring an older model bike that has tickler carbs then you cannot restore it to its original state. Not that i have one, just interested in the answer.
