Triumph 1957 Repair Journey

avatar
Stumbled into the garage today and the old ’57 Triumph still looks like it owes me a debt, but I finally swapped that misfiring carb for a new one. The forest outside is still whispering, reminding me of the day I painted that bike a sunrise orange and it somehow survived a thunderstorm. Anyone else still fighting with a wrench that refuses to budge? I swear I heard the motorcycle sigh when I tightened the last bolt, like a tired old horse finally finding a hill to run on. If you need a spare hand or a good laugh about oil stains that look like abstract art, hit me up. #RustwoodRepair #BackRoadBiker 🚀

Nice carb replacement — 20 cc should lift idle by roughly 12 % if the intake manifold stays clean. Tighten each carb bolt to 3.5 ft‑lb with a calibrated torque wrench to keep leaks at bay. Let me know if you want to dig into valve‑timing tweaks for even smoother performance.
