Autojumble / Triumph T140 primary case wanted

Looking for a primary case that will fit a T140v - not too worried about condition as it will be cut for a race bike with a belt drive - just as long as the bolt lugs are good.

Many Thanks

Jamie

Thanks - sorry for all the questions.

If I put an in-line fuse into the battery feed, what amp rating should it be?

Is there any value in putting an ignition type switch into the lighting / charging circuit or should I just stick with the kill switch from the magneto?

Cheers

Thanks all,

The alternator has two wires coming from it so I presume that it is 12 volt. I have been round and cleaned all the earthing points and made sure that all connectors are tight. I fitted the battery and this time no hot wires - so a positive start.

There are a couple of strange things, like with the lights off the brake light works fine and comes on every time you operate the pedal, but when the rear light is on, the stop light does not work?

The bike has no kill switch or ignition fitted and I would like to fit both. Can anyboy tell me how I would fit a kill switch to the K2F AG 552 magneto - presumably I would just take an earth wire from the mag body at some point?

I am not sure of the point in fitting an key switch to the lighting circuit as the bike will be able to be started direct from the mag - can anybody suggest a good way forward for the wiring circuit ??

Thanks again everybody

British Bikes / Triton wiring question
« on: January 19, 2009, 09:19:55 PM »
Just picked up my Triton today and am slightly puzzled on the wiring. The bike came with no battery and it has a alternator and a magneto. I am not 100% sure if it is a 6 or 12 volt, and when I connected a 12volt battery tonight, the positve lead got very hot soI took it off straight away. The wiring seems to check out against a wiring diagram I have.

Question - does it sound like I have connected a 12volt battery to a 6 volt system (ammeter also went straight past 12 volts when the battery was connected) or does it sound like a short?

Appreciate your help

Thanks for the info.

What would you suggest about the bike security, should I wire the mag earth lead via an ignition switch?

What is the common practice for Tritons using Mags?

British Bikes / Triumph 5T Rev Counter
« on: January 22, 2009, 08:33:57 AM »
My new Triton has a 5T bottom end and a 650 top-end. The bike was supplied with a speedo and rev counter but only the speedo is connected, because I guess that the 5T engine did not have a rev counter drive? Is there any way of installing a drive unit onto this bottom end?

Thanks again

Jamie
