British Bikes / Re: TR5C ?

 :-/ Unfortunately "Old Numb Nuts" had a hard tail welded on.  The rest of the frame is unmodified.  Still haven't set the parts out to see what's there.  It is basically just the motor and bodged frame.  No idea how to set up the ignition.  Just twist it till it sparks.   Would like to see pictures and specs if anyone has some.  A shop manual may be real hard to come by.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick replies.  Nice to know what it is when looking for parts.  From the looks of it the head stock is,  (stock that is).  If anyone has information on where to get the proper shop manual it would be greatly appreciated.  Bought the Haynes for 350/500 unit twins.  Scanning through it, there appears to be nothing on the distributor and how to install and adjust it.  Think there is just one set of points.  Well it should keep me buisy for the cold months ahead.
Thanks

British Bikes / TR5C ?
« on: November 20, 2007, 11:35:11 AM »
Was given what was said to be a Triumph 500 engine in plastic bins.  It would be nice to try and resurect it.  The engine case is unit construction.  It is a twin cycinder with a distributor on the right side.  Someone has hand written 1961 on the case and hardtail frame.  It has TR5C and H18752 stamped in the usual spot for serial numbers on the engine and H18752 on the frame.  There is only one carb.  There have been no references that pop up on search engines about TR5C.  What is it?
Thanks
