Newbie With A Broken Speed Four

Hello and welcome to the forum Sam

 

Hi and welcome. Unfortunately I can't help you, but someone will be along soon. There's a lot of knowledgeable peeps about.

 

Use a screw driver to locate the point where tap is by using a long bladed screwdriver and placing handle end against the little flap in front of your ear hole, the blade end can be moved to source tap: it works like a stethoscope.

Or check timing again and do a valve check!!

 

Probably best to do the basic checks such as valve clearances etc..
Then you know where you are going. TBH if you had the head off that would be a good time to check stuff !
Is the cam chain tensioner working correctly - the chain can be quite noisy if not adjusted .

Yes do check that valve timing as soon as you can. Or it may be a valve that needs to be reshimed. Also make sure your cam tensioner blade is taking is taking up the slack properly. Usually when I do this I turn the engine anti clockwise a few times and use a thin screwdriver just to make sure the tensioner is working properly and is taught. Or it just might need settling down. But check first as the last thing you want is a valve going through a piston. Keep us all in the know.

Hello and welcome, as already said check clearances and cam-chain, as you have already taken the head off double check to see if you missed something when replacing and reassembly, but i think i would want to find out just why a spark plug melted before riding.

 

Welcome aboard Sam. There are plenty of knowledgeable spanner turners on here so hopefully you'll get some good pointers.

 

Hello Sam and welcome to the forum

Good luck sorting out your problem.

 

Not 100% but i have been told that they use a std OBD connector so will use std OBD protocols and error codes so most car type readers will report, just try a cheap eBay job, failing that your looking at a Triumph dealer or buying something like tune ECU.
