Had some nice weather this past Saturday so I managed to get some things done on the chopper. Swapped bars, got my carb slides synched, got the idle a little better, started tweaking the mixture on the left side since that one runs a tiny bit rich and I think it’s giving me this one little sputter spot in 4th gear. Still need to do some tweaking but it’s better. No point in being too nit picky now, I’ll most likely have to re-adjust when it’s significantly warmer out anyway 😅 I also got my expensive lil air/oil separator for my crankcase breather since she is in fact a ‘67 Triumph and they spit oil outta there and even with a longer breather tube routed up high it’s still getting out and covering everything (nice little built-in chain lube but too messy for my taste haha) so just have to make a mount and pop that on this week.

Big downside though, I noticed oil leaking out of the bottom of my push rod tubes so…….. big sigh. I did not want to have to pull this whole motor.
