Temperature compensators

[sujitroy]

I'm still struggling with the drop in idle speed after a good long run. There are no air leaks. The last suggestion was to check the fuel filter which I replaced, but this weekend coming to a a few traffic lights it still goes down and the car (auto) stalls. I did check the compensators during the last gasket change. I adjusted them many years back. They both appear to open around the same time.
I have a spare set of compensators, but the previous owner of the carbs had taken them apart and bent the bimetal strip so they stay permanently closed. As a experiment, I'm thinking of swapping these out? I'm assuming, by using closed compensators, my fuel consumption will decease. Is there any other harm that may happen?
Thanks in advance Sujit

Zenith carburettor site is useful for tech info and setting them up-

If you hope to swap them out for a fix, get new seals for them.... imho those are the air leak paths.

There is a YouTube video released a week or so ago from the chap in the UK at Church Classics and he pulls the carbs apart... very interesting

I got the info from here http://grampianstags.net/TCs.htm

There is not a lot of info available and pretty much all that I found came from the article on Grampian Stags

Thx. I think I found a similar article on Buckeye Triumph. Thee last time I did the compensators, I replaced the seals. The Roadster factory cell them separately. I ordered two sets.
