- Hi all. Hope you guys can help me. Along with a bunch of other stuff my buddy (he is the mechanic) and I have recently finished rebuilding the carbs on my 72 TR6. We had the thing running great (mayb

- Sounds like fuel problem. Checked fuel pump & filter? Float jets set at right level? Debris in tank or line blocking flow? Lou Sent from by wireless Blackberry. Hi all. Hope you guys can help me. Alo

- Sounds like you lost fuel flow to the carbs. Pull the fuel line to the carbs, and direct it into a metal container while you crank the car. You should get a strong steady flow. If not, your fuel fil

- Just a guess. Did you replace the floats? In my experience the original 30+ year old floats are far superior to any floats you get these days. The last time I rebuilt my carbs, the floats sank within

- Thanks for all the great suggestions and keep them coming if anyone has anything else. I'll be doing some troubleshooting this evening. I should have mentioned we ruled out fuel to the carbs as the c

- The dampersprings will not be part of the problem as they just set the damper height under a certain vacuum amount in the inlet manifold. It is the damper function that decides how fast the dampers

- Is it me or are these ZS carbs a real PITA? I made a decision very early in the restoration of my 72 6 to convert to HS6 carbs. The reason at the time was I understand SUs with a 3 and a 4 in the ga

- This is a long-running debate, and I'd like to add my 2 cents. Having rebuilt about 7 pairs of ZS carbs for Triumphs and Lotuses, and having in the past worked on a number of SU carbs for my cars an

- FWIW I have no dyno results comparing the ZS VS S.U. but when I swapped my well tuned ZS for S.U.'s on a built motor my quarter mile times of upper 15 second range did not change. Marty _____________

- And I found that adding a third Stromberg carb to my TR added 50% to the grin factor when looking at the engine without significantly changing the consumption. The shininess of the third K&N also add

- Is it me or are these ZS carbs a real PITA? It is you - and a lot people - but it isn't me or a lot of other people. Since 1977, I have owned 12 Triumphs with dual Strombergs - I've never had a Z-S p
