Fatter Sprint.(Tech Q&A)
Q: I have a '98 Triumph Sprint 900 with 50,000 miles on it that runs great. It's fast with no pinging on acceleration or popping on deceleration. It gets 40 mpg city and 50 on the highway. It's a very reliable machine and I'm very satisfied with it except for one thing--when I change the spark plugs, the old ones are very lean looking with some small whitish deposits on them.
I have set the idle mixture screws at 2 1/2 turns out and installed a K&N air filter. I'm pretty sure the carburetor needle positions need to be reset but my factory manual doesn't cover that. Is it clips or shims? Which way are they moved? How is it done? What should I watch for? It has Keihin carbs, by the way.
