I have owned a lot of Triumph cars and they often have SU carbs and these often
have blockage problems and leaky needle valves.So flooding and starving is
common. It can never be bad to have extra filters.

The symptom with mine was that it wouldn't idle. Once new fuel was in and the
fuel in the feed pipe was used (about 3 miles) it was ok again. When it was
filled initially (with 15L) the level wasn't super-low (evidenced by it being
brimmed when I subsequently added 20L. I don't believe it was crud in the tank.
Maybe time will tell.Martin

Hiya
Q2-002 had exactly the same thing for 12 months... Would run great, then just
splutter and stop. It would tickover all day with no problems once it started,
but would not run under load - unless I had my foot to the boards.
Turned out it was crud in the carb - the steel fuel line fell apart on me
(different story!). When there was load on the engine - there is more suction,
and the grit or whatever got stuck in the jet. When you stopped, the grit fell
down, so it ran properly until the flow moved the grit up again.
Quick way to cure it was shown by 'the very nice man with the flashy lights
truck' - we took the air filter off the top of the carb - put the palm of the
hand over the air intake, remove the LT lead from the coil so it will not
start, and crank for 30 secs. This creates a vacuum which sucks the grit
either out of the system, or causes it to stick in the jet, so you can find and
clean it :)
I have now got a fuel filter in the system :)
