Re: Tri-Power acting up
Have not fine tuned the air-fuel mixtures yet. I did adjust the float to 1 14/32", and it seems to run, and sound out the tailpipes super smooth now. Getting very close to perfect. If you turn it off so it can build heat it even starts decent now.
Waiting on pheonolic spacer from Speedway now. This thing is gonna be sweet! |

Re: Tri-Power acting up
The spacer arrived, and is on. Runs super now. I noticed a couple of other little bugs I wanted to take care of while I had it apart. Rear carb float was WAY too high, which I reset in just a jiffy. Gas was seeping out the air-horn gasket - not any more. Also the rear accelerator pump link kept falling off the throttle shaft bellcrank, so I had one from Charlie Price, and I just went ahead and changed that.
Sounds good. Pipes sound smooth and even. Does not stumble at 200F, even for 5 minutes in drive. All that is left to do is check the clearance i\on the primary carb, since the spacer changed the height, and maybe fine tune the air-fuel mixture with a vacuum gage. Even starts at the turn of the key when up to full temp now. The $20 spacer was worth every penny. |

Re: Tri-Power acting up
The breather element clears. I did the "jiffy-pop test". I'll take it for a spin tomorrow (Saturday). I think the weather is going to be fair. That way I can warm it up good before I even attempt to tweak the air-fuel screws on that carb.
