Taking the carburetor assembly out not as easy as I would have hoped. Whoever supposedly "overhauled" the carbs didn't really seem to. I'm basing this on the fact that one of the needle jet holders had an extraordinary amount of baked on black stuff. Soaking in sea foam didn't dent it, although carb cleaner seems to do better, with multiple applications, I hope to get them cleaned up good. Especially because I don't know that I'll be able to find replacements. Turns out that it doesn't show up as a part number in the Triumph part catalog or bike bandit. I've ordered a holder for a 2003 harley sportster 883 that *seems* like it might fit. Pretty much changing out all the jets, needles, etc. since it's such a pain to get the carbs off. Ordering replacement stuff from Sudco if available, bike bandit for OEM parts if not, and the aforementioned jet holder from the local Harley place.
One last complaint-apparently, it takes as long to ship a Harley part from Wisconsin, as it does a float needle from England.
