You'll need a good fuel stabilizer, Fuel sitting in the bowls of the carbs will develop a varnish and cause all kinds of problems. I for one don't have the problem of the winters living in South Carolina USA but there is a few months that the Spit sits. I have been putting the whole car up on jack stands, this allows air to circulate a bit better and in my mind I think it helps the leaf spring on the 71.

I've just been asked to write an article about winterizing your Triumph. For many of us living in the northern regions, this unpleasant chore has to be faced in the next few weeks. Some people are storing their Triumphs in cold barns, parked on cement floors, and are wondering what's the best way to go to prevent rust setting in, mice chewing up interior and components etc.... Last year, Fred Thomas mentioned Irish Spring soap being used as a preventative for mice problems. Tarping can be a condensation problem if not ventilated properly. A full tank of gas prevents rust build up in the fuel tank. Now, I can think of a few tips. Does anyone have any good ideas on this subject. I'm sure it's in the interested of many people to learn more about winterizing.
