Intake & Carbs

Well the carbs are finally rebuilt as per the Tuning SU Carburettors manual, and set up according to the Triumph Workshop manual.
The hold in the manifold has been plugged as it won't be connect to the breather on the rocker cover. Instead the rocker cover will be vented to atmosphere with a catch can.
The first part to be rebuilt. I just need new jet assemblies and they are good to go.
I also pulled the crank out to have a look at the bearings and see what all I have to buy. Here are the mains, which if my budget will allow I will try to replace. The rod bearing definately need replacing so they have priority. Man I need a job.

Also here is the mk1 and mk2 manifolds for comparison
