1953 Triumph 6T Thunderbird Blackbird Classic Vintage

Here is an extremely rare fully restored matching #s 1953 6T thunder bird. Originally this bike was a "Blackbird" but was painted in the traditional Triumph T100 silver. I acquired this triumph in a trade about 6 months ago. I am not a triumph expert and don't know much about these early models so I will give my best description and try to answer any questions as accurately as possible. When I first acquired the bike it would start right up within 1-2 kicks and run/idle/accelerate excellent. Due to life circumstances I have not started it until recently and after siting for 4+ months the fuel went bad. I drained the gas tank and refilled it with fresh fuel. I also took the carb out and separated the float from the carb and sprayed everything out with cleaner but I didn't want to completely disassemble the carb and mess with the settings. After doing this It still pops and wont idle......kinda shows my mechanical expertise on these older style carbs. I hate to advertise a bike that isnt running great but I figure that its better than messing it up more. I was told that these are the reproduction parts: both fenders ride-away stand carb (still an amal) and a few other small items. And I was told that the Engine components Frame rims suspension tanks bars and nacell are all original parts. I hold a free and clear CA title in hand and titled in my name.
