    Hi, I've been restoring a 750 Bonneville powered Triton since crashing it in 1984 so its time i got it on the road. Almost completed - just missing a few bits such as carbs, electrics and exhaust stem, so some advice welcomed. the engine is a beauty and recently re-built - 10.5:1 CR, polished head etc but I lost the new carbs I bought about 20 years ago and have forgotten what Zener diode means! Welcome any contact in the Bath/Bristol area. triton_yellow.JPG
