Can we ask if you have the one specified for a Triumph.
And the recommended needle.
And correct floatchamber.

SU apparently have approx a thousand different needles and settings suitable for all manner of things,
so being somewhere in the ballpark is somewhat essential.

Is the choke system returning to normal running position correctly ?

it is all standard mc2 , they sell 3 needles for this type at Burlen  , rich , normal and weak , the nut is right up so in its weakest position but when the slide is lifted it does not try to cut out as I would expect but picks up  , I have two on my MG . I will try the weak needle , the bike starts like no amal fitted triumph ever has . choke on first kick but ticks over too rich
