I just installed

TTP Stage 1 intake.

TTP Firestarter

TTP Blue flame coils

Removed the AI

Bike already had short TORS, but when I got into the carbs found they still had the original jets.

I installed 128 mains and left the 42 pilots.

I also found that the left carb pilot screw was not even a full turn and the right was out 1 1/4.

I set both at 1.5 and my idle went from 900 rpm to 1100 rpm. Took her for a ride and she screams!!!

I then turned the pilot screws to 2 turns. Nothing different I can really tell from 1.5 so am leaving them there for now. Adjusted the idle back down.

I had never messed with the carbs since I bought the bike. I thought it ran good. I was wrong.

She sounds and performs like a totally different bike.

Triumph Twin Power two thumbs up.



I also got the Safe Start and will install it at my next oil change.

No not yet. Since this is the first time I have gotten this deep into the carbs I do not have the gauges. Jeff Green has offered to send me his. Thinking I may just buy a set.

You ned to balance the carbs and actually set the mixture screws not just guess and each will probably be slightly different when done right.

Ya I know I am getting a sync gauge. Shows you what I know, but hey I jumped into it and learned a lot and have a better performing bike for the effort.

I am always willing to learn for the wisdom you all have to offer.

Bring it on.
