Hi, Dale

You're not on the *wrong* Triumph list because there are many of them - but
you'll do better if you sign up with triumphs@autox.team.net This is
predominantly US based and full of people who drive emission control
Stromberged cars. The rest of us have to contend with petrol injection. I'm
copying this reply and your request to the list, confident that an army of
people will come hurrying to your rescue.
