Probably SU's, remove the air cleaner, remove the screw on top and remove the plunger assembly, top off the plunger hole on top of the carb with some 30 weight
oil, reinstall the plunger and screw the top back on. Next, stick your finger into the carb opening located on the side of it (where the air cleaner was bolted on) and see if you can work the piston up and down. if so, then as long as you have spark, a shot of ether might get the beast to fire up. if not, replace the basics, plugs, wire, cap, rotor, points and try it again. Most Triumph engines like a strong spark........But then again, you are dealing with Lucas electrics......
