Anything and everything Vitesse.

Engine, cooling system, fuel system, exhaust system.

hi all,

I am currently assisting a friend in trying to rekindle his triumph vitesse 2litre mk2 conv. It is fitted with twin stromberg 150cd carbs and k&n air filter's however on turning the vehicle over for the first time in a couple of years the immediate problem was apparent. An awful lot of fuel was escaping from the carb, from the sides nearest the air filter, it was leaking particularly badly from one of the carbs. is it likely to be an issue of a gasket or other rubber membrane or is it more likely to be a blockage issue or over filling the carb. Has anyone else come accross this problem.

Regards James
