Since around COVID time, Nortons have been coming out of the woodwork for me to work on. The Trident of this thread has been spoken for since July 2023 but I've never time to work on it and the buyer has a 73 T150V I sold him. After finding a few more things to work on today, it was finally go time. Quit reading if you can't handle the truth! It sure is nice to hear that triple run! It fired idled and the pilot circuit seems to be perfect without any adjustment - it's just as I set the carbs on the bench. My stepson is here so he was tasked with an around the block - came back wanting the rear brake to work sooner. Then off he went again and came back about the clutch. The clutch has maybe 10 miles on it, so adjusted the cable and sent him again. This time for some mid-range testing - hoping the mid-range is good but if not, changing the needle clips is not hard.Yes, I will test it myself but it's too damned hot and I'm too messed up right now. Once it cools off and my shoulders and arms are doing better I'll like nothing better than riding it.
