When you had the carbs apart, did you cover or partly cover the hole in the slide with the plastic clip that holds the slide spring? That could be the cause.



Thanks for that I am having similar symptoms with a dead spot right off of idle and I never thought to check that in all the times the carbs have been apart and adjusted and tweaked trying to remedy this.



And yet the Triumph documentation NEVER forgets to warn us to disconnect the battery! Why can't they document the hidden petrol filter? And in this case, the fact that the, as yota says, retainer doesn't obstruct the slide's vacuum relief port upon reassembly?
