    I added a tiny amount of weld to the front pins of my mag , then filed them to centre up to the al hole ,it is amazing how little you need for the pinion shaft to swing around . I think your old girl deserves a strip down and paint up 🙂 .cheers.

    Great bike. I did my first partial top end on my OIF Triumph T140 recently. (I needed to replace base and head gaskets and push rod tube seals which were leaking pretty bad.) I guess I didn't tighten down one of the valve adjuster nuts enough cause after a test ride I opened it up to double check my valve adjustments and the nut had come off and was just sitting there. That was scary. I reached in, picked it up and put it back on. The bike was running great for the first 100 miles or so I put it on, but one of the pushrods broke yesterday while I was out on a ride. Not sure what causes a push rod to break. I didn't replace them when I had the top end apart. Now I'm going to replace all 4 of them while I have the rocker boxes off.

  • @pauliebots

    I don't know what makes a push rod fail (happened to me) but I put solid ones back and have not had a problem. I had the ones with the caps on the ends.

    Very important, these wheel bearings. I had the very same set-up on my 1976 Husky.....Akront rims and same bearing. Seems like all the European bikes used the same bearings, seals, spacer setup in hubs. I got sloppy on maintenance and ended up walking home 7 miles on a 90 degree day when my rear wheel wobbled so badly that it contacted the chain. Nothing is hotter than stupidity and a set of High Point boots on a summer day. P.S. EBC makes some excellent replacement brake shoes for these hubs....you might be able to use a Husky number?

    I had Ceriani forks on my first Husky 250....leaked. Put a set of lifetime seals in.....leaked. Put another set of lifetime seals in....leaked. Took off the forks...disassembled them, put the fork tubes on a lathe and used wet/dry paper to "crosshatch" the surface....put back together.....no leak. Conclusion... smooth forks do not hold enough oil to make a seal....they need to carry a bit of oil up to seals to accomplish sealing. Used 35 mm Honda fork seals. Also......don't let your balls corrode!! LOL! For fork oil I used different mixes of 40 W and ATF....find a ratio that works. ATF really keeps the fork seals nice....same as in an automatic trans. If any of this can work for you, let me know. Tom [email protected]

    Good job on the carb rebuild......your collection of tools looks just like mine as well as your procedures. Those old Amals were not the most sophisticated of carbs but worked quite well when clean and thoughtfully adjusted. My main problem was living at 6200 feet altitude and running up to 9000 in Wyoming mountains. There isn't much air in the air at 9000 feet! I used Bing carbs on some of the Husqvarnas but jets were like gold to buy and pretty soon I could not find them. A Bing will run better wide open than the same size of Mikuni I found out.

    I rode Husqvarna for a lot of years...... the cursed points system drove me nuts. When they went to a solid state ignition I thought I'd died and went to heaven. I don't know how many times I had to throw my old Husky on it side in the mountains of Wyoming and readjust the points. You are definitely doing the right thing with the new ignition.....hot, reliable spark and no changes in timing. Also, getting the tension on the primary drive change just right(I rode Maico, too) is essential.....looking at the oil for metal is the crystal ball for knowing the condition of this chain.

    Where do you buy your triumph parts from? Also, I have a 1966 T100SC with 8k miles that has sat protected since 1973. What are your thoughts on the whole sludge trap issue? Planned on inspecting the engine and fixing any leaks or issues in the top end but didnt want to have to do a complete tear down to get it running. Any input is appreciated, also I really enjoy how thorough your videos are man, keep it up!

  • @vorhese
    @vorhese3 ай бұрын

    The reason I felt confident about this motor is when I opened it up and everything looked almost spotless, like it'd never ran. I also think there's a cam in this bike, which means the bottom has been opened. I just use my gut. If you buy the bike and it's covered in oil and leaks, low compression... I'd lean towards a motor rebuild. It's really not that bad. It's worth the peace of mind for sure. My two main sources are Vintage Triumph Supply and I get my conrods fixed and bushings put in, and super good gaskets, PennGrade oil and Hylomar from Franz & Grubb. I use Mile High Crank Shafts in Denver for crank work, a local guy for barrels. Don't currently have a head guy. But I believe I'm going to start using Richter Machining for everything from here on out.

    I haven't finished watching all your videos on this bike yet. If you didn't end up splitting the cases and having a look at the sludge trap then that engine ain't going to run for long before one of the big ends, probably the near side one, fails. I speak from experience.

    Dude, you haven't softened that copper washer at 14:00 - you just hardened it. What you did there was quench it. That makes metal hard. If you want to anneal something you let it cool down slowly.

    Actually that's not true. But this is how I was taught. I think the next video I specifically say I stop doing this.

  • @therobots7711
    @therobots77112 ай бұрын

    Not for copper, there is no phase change on cooling. The only difference with quenching copper is that the oxide layer will fall off from the sudden shrinking. You can remove the oxide layer easily anyway. Steel will definitely become brittle though if it's heated and quenched.

Now trying to put the cover back on it will NOT come out of 4th gear...... any reasons why? Its my first time owning and working on a vintage triumph so im just confused.

    Glad to see that someone else replaced ball bearings with tapered - I also have a Ceriani front end on a T100C ('70 model) - and Jay assured me that tapered bearings would work (and they do!). I look forward to hearing/seeing how well the Rickman brake works - the PO of my bike adapted the factory 7" TLS.
