Re wired 1971 650 triumph up dated electrial on
Did you use a Typanium Recitifier? There should be no problems unless it is a used one. All the new ones I havew used just "bolt on" .. there are 5 wires. Check to see if you don't have a grounded wire some where.. try it with the head light off.. I usually wire my bikes to start with no head light with a 3 way switch.. once running I can then turn the light on. Go through an check all your wires again, you might just have a bad connection somewhere.. here is an excellent site .. Jim

I have a 2001 Triumph
charge the battery up and use jumper leads from a car ,if problem persists then its new starter motor ,because it could be the bendix pinion from your description ,but it might just be the battery not holding enough reserve amperage power to turn the starter motor hence the car jump start .

How do i tighten the inner primary chaincase on a Triumph T110
Oh, it's been a long time since I've messed with a pre-unit Triumph. Best as I can remember, the transmission was adjustable on it's mount on the frame. You loosened the inner primary bolts and the transmission mounting bolts. There was an adjuster mounted on the frame behind the transmission, I think.
I hope this helps. It's been a LONG time since I've seen one of those and I'm an OLD man with a questionable memory.
Good Luck

I have a 2001 triumph
You most likely have a float that needs adjusting. For my money, I leave this task to the pros. Get an estimate at three shops nearby so you get a good price. The only other thing you may have going on is some residual crud and lacquer buildup. For that I use Seafoam, a fuel additive that works wonders. IT is available at most auto parts stores. Joe

Need to replace a clutch
You will need the centering tool to align the new clutch.
The manual says it's part T3880014. It says it is not essential but the job can take some time without it.
Triumph recommend the use of an alignment tool (PN T3880014) for use when rebuilding the clutch. The tool is used to align the lifter plate with the hole in the transmission input shaft, thus enabling the pushrod seat to move freely in the shaft when the clutch lever is operated. The tool is not essential, although the installation procedure can take some time without it.
Not horribly definitive, but it sounds like you could replace plates and springs without the tool, according to Haynes.
check out.this will help.
thanks.

Carbs out of sinc
This is a technically challenging task even if you have the calibrated vacuum gages and the know how to use them. Please see your motorcycle shop and have them balance the carbs on your Bonneville for optimum results.

Need help with 66 triumph 650 bonneville
After these bikes have set for a period of time the oil in the oil tank drains to the lower end of the engine and when started after sitting the oil is usually forced out of the vents for crankcase; which on many of these bikes is through the primary and possibly to the chain oiler etc. Usually after running for a few minutes the oil is back in the oil tank and over supply to the oiler stops! Could possibly soak the clutch plates if it filled primary case also. Be sure and check oil level in tank?! If you added oil before starting it will now be overfilled after starting. This is common problem and will mend it self usually. Does make a mess in the garage toooooooo! Jesse "Leroy" Graves

1972 T120R Bonneville 650 producing clouds of
sounds like oil rings may need replacing,650 are very needy motors, they need regular service and the oil change is the best way to keep them running. also after a spray off at the wash it is a good idea to dry them before a long sit.

How do i remove bottom engine fixing stud on 1980
A service manual is a valuable tool with an aging bike. I suggest the
dealer/mfr. or Clymer books. In the meantime, go to the library
reference section...646 stacks should have what you need.

T140E 1978 starts runs at idle, quits on take
if your model has a amel mark 2 the stand main jet is #200
needle jet #106
pilot jet #20
starter jet #35
the main jet doesn't come into it at take off unless you are pulling 5000 revs or more.
i would try raising the needles and checking the pilot jet
also try taking of with choke on this will let you know if it is starving for fuel.
try the choke one first before pulling the carbs down.

Triumph bonneville t120 1968 low oil pressure
Several things could be at play: Type or weight of oil, confirm this first. Not to question the rebuild but if not done properly (improper bearing clearances, too large) the oil pressure can be low and perhaps a worn pump too. While I am unfamiliar with the engine and oil pump loaction I'd check it if your able too. You'll probably need a good set of feeler gauges to check this if these clearances are outside of the pumps limits the pump will be less able to create pressure; this is of course more evident when the oil heats up.
Another cheap fix is to use a heavier weight oil.
Hope this might help,
Tom
