British Bikes / Re: TR6 wet sumping
« on: July 24, 2011, 01:22:26 PM »
I have fitted the filter behind the down tube ( OIF bike ) between the tube and swing arm pivot where most people fit it. I was thinking of removing it as a last resort although i wanted to leave it on. Before i rebuilt the engine it used to spit a bit out but the engine was pretty much shagged, i will try running the engine in first and see what happens, i dont know whether it will make any difference the way i have run the breather hose. I have been researching the Bunn breathers but what happens with the breather hose from the timed disc if you fit one.

British Bikes / TR6 wet sumping
« on: July 23, 2011, 02:17:24 PM »
Sorted out my starting problem but now i seem to have another, my 71 TR6 is fitted with a 68 engine. When i rebuilt it i fitted a new timing breather disc and spring and oil filter plumbed up on the scavenge return. When i got the engine started it took about 3 - 5 minutes until i got a steady flow of oil back to the tank, i had filled the engine oil filter with oil as i didnt want the top end starved of oil as the engine has been rebuilt. Obviously there must have been a fair amount of oil in the sump as it spewed a fair amount out of the breather, now i have a good return i am still getting oil spitting out of the breather tube, will this clear up as i run the engine in or do i have a problem

Checked carb on TR6 again all good, rechecked timing with degree wheel all good. Advanced timing by ten degrees and it fire first kick. gradually moved static timing back to 38 degrees fully advanced and it runs great. Just need to sort out dragging clutch and then i can road test it. Next i will try the bonneville the same way by messing around with the static timing.

Thanks LAB i will remove my carb first and check, just checked timing again on the TR6 with degree wheel all spot on, check resistance of 12V coils all good, checked wiring all good but no smoke or noise just short of breath. I will let you know how i go with the carb, if all ok i will wait for the new 6V coils.

Yes i stripped both carbs and both pilot jets were blocked, i will remove the bowls and lap them as they are both leaking but i cleaned out both carbs with compressed air. I have ordered two 6V coils from Pazon which i will fit to my Tiger and see if that resolves my problem then i will tackle the bonny. I have just rebuilt my Tiger engine so that has plenty of compression, the bonny had about 140PSI on each cylinder but has been sitting around for quite a few years.

thanks for the advice, fitted a pazon to my 71Tiger since and i have the same problem. It ran and started no problem with the Boyer but i changed as i heard good things about the pazon and by buying two i got them at an excellent price. I have checked all the settings on my tiger and everything appears to be spot on, both mine and my mates bike run 12V coils and yes they are wired up in series. I will order the pazon coils and fit them to mine and see if that solves the problem.

Mate of mine purchased a 71 Bonny from a dealer who imported from the states, he was told it starts and has had the head removed and all is good. we have tried to start it with no luck, head hasnt been removed and the points didnt look to flash. i purchased and fitted a Pazon Surefire electonic ignition for him thinking this would do the trick. No luck so removed and cleaned out carbies ( both pilot jets blocked and set up float levels ) and fitted all new gaskets and springs and cables. Still no joy, plugs are dry so i am still thinking fuel problem. Any one got any ideas, the spark from the Pazon doesnt seem that strong but i am not sure if that is normal. Bike is positive earth and has been wired as per the instructions.

British Bikes / TR6 engine rebuild
« on: April 07, 2011, 02:40:29 AM »
My TR6 ( 1971  has a 6T engine fitted to it ( 1969 ), des anyone know if it will make any differance on whether i time the inlet cam to the small or long dash. The manual says the small one but are the cam the samebetweenmdlsand is if i time it to the TR6 sec is it just a case of tuning or a i gong to bounce valves of pistons.

Thanks sludgetrap i didnt think anything was wrong as i fitted the pistons and barrells yesterday and it fills great when rotated, when i built my Gold Flash engine the rods were quite loose on the journals when compared to the trumpy.

British Bikes / 1971 TR6R rebuild
« on: March 18, 2011, 10:45:39 PM »
JUst got all my parts back and have started to assemble my engine, measured everything and all is spot on with 0.0005" bigend clearance. This is the first Trumpy engine i have built but with the conrods fitted and torqued they rotate easily with just a slight feel of resistance. With 0.0005" clearance i would expect this to be ok until the bike is run in, they will fall under there own weight but i was just wondering if anyone else had come across this. Side clearance is ok and the engine was running when i stripped it, the crank has been ground and i have fitted new bearings.
