8ntruck 6,998 #5 Posted October 15, 2023 The innards on that carb look pretty similar to the carb that was on the 1973 Triumph Spitfire I had a long tome ago. I think it was a Stromberg SU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Digger 66 3,478 #12 Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) Next order of business was the skis . they were run without carbides ( wear-bars / skags etc... ) causing almost the entire keel to be destroyed . Repop skis are pretty hard to come by but I did find a pair of NOS skis for sale in Minnesota . There's no challenge in bolting on a different set so , let's try to fix these with what we have laying around in the garage ....
