    Hi folks. My 1965 T90 has a stupid choke. You have to push a plunger down on top of the carb which then engages in a split pin. It never stays down and whilst I've tidied up the slot in the plunger it's still a pain. Is there a choke conversion which is activated by a lever on the bars?

    The two Meriden Triumphs I had (1960 5TA and 1969 Bonneville) both had ticklers on the carbs (Monobloc and Concentric) as did my Norton 88, (though the less said about that particular pile of :poop: the better), which was enough to start them. As I remember, no choke was fitted to any of them.
    It may be worth a quick phone call to one of the Meriden Triumph parts suppliers or perhaps to Amal themselves (or Burlen who, I believe, make Amal carbs these days - bit hard to tell sometimes!:confused:) for advice.

    The above is a long winded way of saying that I really haven't a clue!!:eek:

    Yeah, I've got a couple of mates who have got Dommies and who used to have Triumphs and they didn't have chokes. Really cold morning today and my bike needed choke. I'll speak to a few suppliers as you suggest. Thanks.
