Good morning, all
After casting around in the site, a bit more, I refound the link to the rootes1725 site. I found the float height, of 19mm. I have a curiosity question. Before refinding the correct site, I found a couple of Triumph sites, that gave the measurement, for strombergcd150, of 17mm. Is this a function of the different way the carbs mount, to the manifold, or is there a range of adjustment, that will work? I also, thought I'd seen an acutal measurement, for the jet offset. Most posts recommend just bringing the jet level w/the body casing and backing off 2.5 turns and it more a matter of having them backed out to the same depth.
One of the carbs seems to be setup correctly, needle centered and nice clack when the piston is dropped. I'm having trouble w/the other one, though. It seems to be binding, between the piston tube and top cap cylinder/tube and possibly the piston. When I do the "drop test" it either doesn't drop, sticks, or slowly comes down, part way. I've tried cleaning w/solvents, gentle enough to not damage the diaphram. Normally I'd get some 2000grit paper and smooth them out, but have seen warnings about doing this. Any suggestions?
Perhaps my next question should be in another thread, but it seems appropriate here. If it needs to be moved, please let me know.
Can faucet o-rings be used? NAPA was out of the correct size, but I found it in the plumbing section of Home Depot.
I'd really like to not have to take off the carbs, again. So would like to have them close to right, when I put them back on. (Doesn't everyone!) Once I get the carbs back on, it's only a matter of hooking up the fuel delivery system, getting her started and I can then put tires on and get her into paint. It may just be psycological but all the mechanical work I've done on it, just isn't visible. Eventhough I know I've made good progress it just doesn't LOOK, like I have.
Thanks
Ron
