Speed Triple 1050 2013, Flooding Problem

I can only guess
Airfilter, make sure that is clean, by reducing air flow it may make the mixture rich
O2 sensor, this checks the exhaust gases and adjusts the mixture, if this is faulty maybe this is affecting the air/fuel mix
Correct spark plugs, running a type that is to cold may result in fuel not being burned
Fuel filter,
Aftermarket exhaust, if you are running an aftermarket exhaust and not had the fuel map updated, may be worth checking it is running the correct map for your bike...check EasyECU it should work with your bike
Throttle bodies are these balanced, are there any air leaks
Can you smell unburned fuel from the exhaust....running too rich

 

Are you using the throttle when starting? Dont.

 

When you say flood do you mean water or fuel?

 

" Another problem of the Triple was water flooding the spark plugs. If your engine turns over but has trouble starting up, water in the spark plug wells is probably the culprit. It most likely comes from riding in the rain, but it’s very common among most Triumph bikes so there may be different causes for this particular problem. There doesn’t seem to be a cure for it, but Dielectric Grease seems to keep the water from running into the wells if applied generously to the rubber sleeves."

 

might be worth checking if you have the correct map for the silencers fitted.

 

Hello Wynand and welcome in to the Triumph.

Can I just clarify something about this this? The thread title is "Speed Triple 1050 2013, Flooding Problem" - is there fuel leaking from the bike? Or do you mean that the engine is running rich?

I'm going to assume you mean running rich, OK?

This is often caused by the IACV (Idle Air Control Valve) and it's associated vacuum pipes. This device can show a variety of symptoms and I've listed some below :

Poor starting
Rich running
Higher fuel consumption
Poor engine running
etc
etc

The device at it's heart is a solenoid/stepper motor, with four vacuum pipes.

The device can fail due to:

Dirt in the stepper motor - easily cleaned with aerosol Clutch and brake cleaner;

Failure of any one of the vacuum hoses - Triumph parts not expensive, but I bought a metre of silicone stuff off the 'net for pennies.

This device can be find attached to the underside of the airbox.

Hope that helps.......................
