Featured Potential New Triumph Owner

Great news on getting it all at a price you are happy with.

 

Happy for you HMC_MT, still a beautiful Bonnie that you can get running and enjoy

 

Hey HMC. Good to know that you've got a deal that you're happy with and that the Bonnie is going to a caring new home. We'll expect to see some news of your progress through the process of getting it ready to run and ride and maybe some of it in its new Montana home.

Stay safe.

 

Luvly, just the job. Totally the sort of machine I really like. No issues to rebuild any way you want or just leave as is to enjoy bombing around on some of the best British Iron there is.
Not so sure about the electrical gizmos though. Probably ok for testing whether your pacemaker is still running. I think my tester that was about a fiver would do more wizardry that I don't understand.
The bike is just great though, a dog's bollox bike. Result.

Sounds like you're gonna enjoy yourself. As darkman has given the manuals are invaluable especially the parts catalogues. You may find that you'll need a few catalogues as yours is a multiple years. Part numbers are stamped or cast in most parts and these numbers can be entered straight into Mr Google to find them. There are, however, some cheap parts out there and you'll find the suppliers you like to use.
Mind you, looking at the bits you've got, you may not need parts for a while yet.

Enjoy, and welcome to the love of proper Triumphs There's a few people on here who really know their way around these bikes and are worth their weight in pistons.

 

well the tools are certainly comprehensive. you ve got pullers for the cam and crank pinions, gearbox sprockets, valve spring compressors, a fork tube puller, a seal holder wrench, clutch hub pullers, main bearing race remover, a tappet guide block drift, and so on.

you also have two tools i've never seen before in the flesh.

one appears to be the crankcase separator, possibly homemade, 6046



the other is the removable timing ring, 2014



there's lots of stuff in there i don't recognize. spread em out and take more pictures

have you had the title changed over to your name yet?

 

Gear box drainplug is the small two part plug, main plug has a level tube for refiling level and the smaller plug that seals the tube, remove both and drain oil, refit big one with tube and fill box through filler plug next to kickstart, when oil stops dripping from tube fit the small bung. Removing the sump plug will allow you drain the little oil in the sump and clean the filter/gauze at the same time, wash with petrol the same as you would with the filter/gauze in the oil tank. Also the 69 engine has separate oil in the primary that is worth changing/checking.

 

Yes never rush . Check both taps as one has a metal tube riser and acts as the reserve tap

 

if you use engine oil in the primary, find an oil in the viscosity you want that is API rated no higher than SG or SH or the clutch will slip. or locate a motorcycle oil labelled for use with wet clutches. i use SG in all my machines to keep it simple.

 

Those are the correct Ewart's taps but one is for on and one has a riser tube for the reserve tap. Only by removing the taps from the tank will you see the difference as both have filters on them but the reserve also has a 2" long extension inside the filter gauze.
