Hello Guys and Girls, Thought I'd introduce my recently inherited old Triumph. If you'd like leave your thoughts on the discussion thread: //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/49648-greentcs-1978-triumph-2500tc/ It's a 1978 Triumph 2500TC. This one is an automatic running the twin carb 2.5 straight 6 under the bonnet. These engines made a grand total of 99 Horses at the crank when new. This car has been in my family since new starting its life in Wellington and has been living at the beach in Matata since 1994 (hence the rusty exterior). After my Grandfather passed the car came down to me, I have since relocated it to Auckland to begin tidying it up and bringing it back to how I remember as a kid. A couple of pictures of it being picked up from Matata: The bonnet had rusted quite badly (worse than it looks) , but the oil was fresh and with a bit of fresh fuel and persistence she fired up after having sat for 5 months. I'll update with details of my parts hunt later on.

Hey guys, new to oldschool. Wondering if someone can help I recently brought Bevers/Connors/Jakes Triumph 2000 Estate. I’ve done a few little mods but the only thing that’s probably relevant to this problem is I put ramflo air filters on it and subsequently have been tinkering with the carb tuning. So I’m pretty sure it’ll just be the mixture but maybe something else has changed. When the cars cold it starts up with a flick of the key, no choke no throttle just fires up. whens its up to running temp however it’s a mission, I have to hold the key on, foot flat on the gas for anywhere from 10-30 seconds (choke makes no difference) I think the mixture is abit rich cause spark plugs are abit black but not really that bad I’ve been winding the mixture screw on the bottom of the carbs up 1 flat at a time trying to see if it makes a difference but its doesn’t seem to be. Any ideas would be great Thanks Dylan
