That's better - you should call it the 'BOS(S)'. Its full moniker is horrible and inappropriate (but possibly appropriate for most of my bikes)sweet angel wrote:1st ride out on the BOS, went the mucky duck and it rained!![]()

Re: If you rode your triple/bike today post a picture.
I used up three tanks of petrol just riding around today. I'm only managing to get 50 miles from brimful to reserve.
Ended up going past Box Hills so stopped for a bacon butty.

Spent quite a lot of time at the side of the road changing plugs over. Seemed like a plug problem and eventually found a small bike shop that had the NGKs in stock. Problem seems to have gone away now.

You should be getting about 40mpg unless you ride like a total nutter.
I should be at Boxhill sunday noonish if anyone is about.

BIG H.
If you are going to be there I might ride over for noon too. I really need to let someone who knows triples to have a look over and give me some advice/reassurance. The last few weeks have just been a haze of shakedown tests and problems to resolve. My experience is from over thirty years ago and so at the moment it's a complete mixture of grins and fun with concerns and worries about things that might need sorting and how best go about it.
What bike you got so I can find you?

Re: If you rode your triple/bike today post a picture.
Clive. I think I talked to you when I was searching for a triple a few weeks ago. Sorry I never made it down to you but I went up to see the H2C pictured above, In the background), and thought it was the right one for me.

Re: If you rode your triple/bike today post a picture.
BigH,
Only had time to check my needle setting this evening. You were right, the circlip was on the bottom setting on all three carbs so I moved them up to the fourth one down. One step closer to better running, (and fuel consumption), I think
I'll check the main jet size tomorrow.
Thanks for help.
