British Bikes / 71 Triumph Daytona Battery Not Charging
« on: June 07, 2010, 08:11:04 PM »
My battery is not charging. This started one very humid night. I had to roll start it. The key lamp doesn't come on even after charging the battery and the bike will run for a minuet or so then die. Not sure if it's the alternator, the coils or what. The bike will start off a charged battery as long as I give it gas but wont idle.

British Bikes / 1971 T100R Speedo Question
« on: April 15, 2010, 03:09:33 AM »
I bought a replacement speedo and the old one had nothing connected to it and I can't figure out where to run the new speedo cable to, anyone know of a link to a diagram or just where to route it? I have a shop manual and a parts book but all I know from those sources it that the path to the connection is approx. 60 inches long.

British Bikes / Total Engine Rebuild 1971 Triumph Daytona
« on: March 30, 2010, 04:41:00 AM »
I am planning on rebuilding an engine out of a 71 Daytona and this will be the first engine I ever rebuild. I was wondering if someone could tell me the parts usually replaced on a job like this. The bike came with a great shop manual and parts book but I just don't know which ones should be replaced beyond obviously damaged parts. The bike has 15k miles on it.
