Hiya Pete,
Three Mk1 Amal concentrics- Sounds like the carbs need a good strip down and clean , this is a job for " Someone who knows what they are doing". I think unless you have a British bike background , you need to join a classic bike club and start asking around. I'm not sure about the T160 , but the T 150 was set up to run on 5* petrol so at the very least you will need premium fuels.
Also check the tappets , you note that the '' engine is very quiet'' it could well be the valve clearances are tight, and closing up to nothing as the bike warms up. In fact get that done/ do it before looking at the carbs, I reckon.
A lot of this page applies to your bike too https://classic-motorbikes.net/triumph-trident-t150/ ____________________ All the above is my personal opinion, you can see my lips move, but I'm talking out of my arse.
I've been riding, and fixing , bikes for 50 years, in that time the more I learn, the less I am absolutely sure of..... |
