    Hey everyone,

    Just bought a 1998 triumph trophy 1200. Not hugely mechanically minded but I seem to find my way. I do have one problem with it though if anyone could advise. When I do a cold start fuel is dripping from the air filter next to the carbs. I thought it might be a stuck float/needle or something? She's on nearly 50,000 miles. Having the oik and filter replaced today and the exhaust smells of fuel.

    Hi and welcome…. If you post your questions in the technical section for the trophy, you will likely get a better response :)

    Hi and welcome, no technical expertise here either I am afraid, but there is plenty to be found on the forum.

    Hey Edward. Welcome from across the pond. I can't help with your mechanical issues. I'm considered armed and dangerous with a toolbox in my hand.
