Re: Vinyl dash.
I have a couple of excellent used dash panels for the Mk2 if you decide to go down that route. They are not difficult to change, probably more time consuming if anything. Depends how badly damaged or where the damaged area is on your dash unit. Vinyl trim repairs aren't cheap though. PM me if you ar...

Re: 2500S engine reluctant to start and barely runs.
I doubt it will be a weak mixture if the car was running well before covid, but now doesn't. Unless you have done anything else to the engine, those symptoms (to me) point to a carb issue. I'd take the tops off, clean, check the rise and fall of the pistons, the balance of the linkage, the cleanline...

Re: Genuine help from you experts needed!!
I'm glad that you appear to be finally getting somewhere Forkie after all your persistence! I am also glad that Alec and I appeared to be on the right track insisting that the issue appeared to carb related rather than the gearbox!!! I'm surprised to hear about the mixture settings being such a way ...

Re: Genuine help from you experts needed!!
We checked them by trying to blow through the fuel inlet pipe, and operating the float, to see if they shut off correctly, as fuel delivery / starvation was suspected as it wouldn't rev. There was a problem with one float valve - I think from memory, it wasn't allowing sufficient fuel through, rathe...

Re: Genuine help from you experts needed!!
There are different schools of thought on the oil for the piston damper - the handbook states 20 /50, other say a thinner viscosity. I personally, I use a 10/40 (I use that in my other 'non Triumph' cars), which is slightly thinner, especially when cold. Being perfectly honest though, I've not notic...

Re: Genuine help from you experts needed!!
Interesting results... Is the jet visibly round or oval on either carb? If not, I'd continue with Pt 2. Changing the piston and needle as complete assemblies is easy to return to the original if necessary. If they are oval, then the needle and jet need replacing anyway. I appreciate that keeping the...
