It had some running issues Ray, kinda strange hiccup sorta thing and would die at idle. It was kinda like a lean condition in the carbs so I went through them just to be sure.. glad I did because somewhere down the line someone had glued the float bowls on with structural silicone (the stuff I use to reseal an engine case).
Anyway cleaned them up, replaced the bowl seals and the needles as they had a bit of chafing, adjusted and synched the carbs... it ran better performance wise but did not fix the problem.
After taking it down the road it acted much more like a coil problem and sure enough I replaced 1 ignition coil and fixed 95 percent of the problem. I'm thinking it may have another one going bad.
I've worked on a few of these triples and I gotta say that they are pretty tough.. the most common problem I've found with them is the coils, even moreso than the twins. Been considering advising the guy to just change out all three for the nology brand.
I've had to replace the starter on two of them now, and they are not cheap. The brushes wear out for whatever reason and both bikes had just over 20000 miles.
Another downside is that if the starter drive clutch goes bad, you have to remove the engine and split the case to get to it. I think that was more of a problem on the earlier model T-Birds and Adventurers though.
Great bikes though... If I could I would be adding one to my stable.
