I've just purchased a triumph gt6 MK3 and I'm having issues with it running too rich. In an attempt to rectify this, I bought a colour tune sparkplug, a flow meter and the adjustment tool (all the gear no idea!). No matter how much I lean the mixture, the combustion remains a rich yellow/orange colour until the engine begins to struggle.

Other symptoms have been hesitation while accelerating, backfires at higher RPMs, lots of black liquid spitting out of the exhausts and inability to idle when warm.

Does anyone have an idea what I could look at to rectify this? Could this be something to do with the floats perhaps? Cheers.

Is anyone else jaded by how much the Internet hates us?

I understand the answer is to stop scrolling, but I find it a bit depressing that when English food, culture, sports etc are mentioned we're always dog piled on by foreigners (and people from the home nations too) who think we're the scum of the Earth.

Scots/Welsh/N.Irish get a pass though!

I saw a post earlier of someone eating beans on toast, and they got the expected replies. When the OP revealed that they were Scottish the replies shifted to 'why don't you eat some better food from your own culture????'.

I'm so sick of this.

I'm using rp-1 express install, I've managed to enable scatter collision, and I've switched on ground scatter via the in game settings menu, but when loading the game up it says:

• Ground scatter: Disabled
• Scatter collisions: Enabled

Does the scatter itself need to be enabled via a txt file?

I'm 19 and at the end of a three year apprenticeship, which I've been working bloody hard to get through. I've always fancied a classic car and thought the end of my apprenticeship would be a good excuse to 'reward' myself with a new hobby.

For context, I'm on £28k a year, and once my apprenticeship finishes in August it should go up to £35-40k. I'm in a good financial position and have about £50k total in investments and saving accounts, which I hope to put towards a mortgage on a flat/house to move out in the next few years. I've already got a car to trundle to and from work in, so this classic would be a hobby car.

I'm looking at getting a classic in the £10-15k range, like a triumph GT6 or similar. The insurance, storage and upkeep will total £2-3k a year.

Is this a bad decision? I know these numbers are small compared to some of the posts on here, but I thought I should check if my financial reasoning is sound!
