I had similar problems with a vintage DelOrto carb, it was vapour blased and cleaned and the bike would start but it wouldn't produce power, all it wanted to do was stall when the clutch was let-out. It was a blocked air passageway, took me ages to finally dig that deep but once that was cleared she ran beautifully. The number of times you see people on KZbin restoring a bike but give up on the carbs and buy replacements when it's pretty sure it's just blocked air passageways and relatively easy to fix. The Bike BTW is gorgeous.

Great job Chris! A lot of information was shared and as always learned a lot. Can't wait till we get back to the Norton!

Even 'underwater' it sounds sweet. Just noticed the drilled front disc. That looks very purposeful. Thanks for documenting all this, Chris. I'm sure you are pleased that the owner finally has the bike back.

Problems arise if everything went smoothly we would never learn anything, your perseverance has paid off gorgeous bike credit to you

Outstanding series! The problems you encountered, and resolution are what made it so special. You would have easily qualified as a chapter in Pirsig's "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". Gumption!

Lovely, sounds good and no smoke! If it was mine, I'd change the bars to T150 UK 'spec to get a comfortable riding position but nothing else.

which handlebar kit have you got, metalastic bushes, cup, rubber washer, distance pieces, hemisperical washers... or the rigid mounting kit with no metalastic washers? i ask because i tried fitting the rubber mounted one on my t160, and couldn't tighten it up, the bars just flopped around, i'm stuck now not sure what to do.

I've got the metalastic bushes fitted on mine. They are a bugger to fit correctly, and mine were loose for a while until I sorted out the correct order of washers etc. I'm away now but when I get back I'll see if I can shed any light on the order of assembly.

Thats how they were in the day, I think the reason was Girling's weren't available & i think Triumph started fitting Marzocchi's from Italy.

Yes, for a while they were the in thing. Not sure why. 🤔
