Thanks for the pointers which I can get on with checking, and yes, I have a multimeter.

British Bikes / TR6 discharging
« on: June 08, 2007, 06:45:47 AM »
I have to charge the battery every few days now on my 1968 TR6 as the Boyer ignition dos'nt like the low voltage. The Ammeter shows a slight discharge when being riden. Is there any simple checks I can do on any of the comonents to eliminate them as the cause, or which order is recommeded for them to be replaced in order to cure the fault?

Looks like a self inflicted problem! The electolyte level in the battery was way down. I mean, way down! Topped up, battery charged and were off again. Thanks for the pointer on the low battery as a probable cause.

Thanks for the pointer that low voltage may be the problem. I did notice on recovering the bike that the ammeter had a slight bias towards discharge, and over a period the battery may now be too low. Better check the battery condition, and charging system. Sorry about the condensers. I didnt fit the Boyer, but they are still fitted under the front of the tank. I see now from the Boyer wiring that they are not in play. Many thanks.

British Bikes / Triumph Electrics

Everthings been fine with my 1968 Triumph TR6, until yesterday. Normally a good starter, I suffered couple of kick backs when starting. Perhaps the boyer ignition had slipped a bit? Anyway got to work OK. End of work and its dark, again bike starts albeit with the kick backs, but when I switched the lights on, I got a bang from the exaust, and it cut out. Did this a couple of times before I called it a night, and rang the wife to pick me up! Following day, (in daylight), I got the bike back home but it was very difficult to start, but seemed OK when running, although I did notice the ammeter was slightly off left to discharge. Before I leap in to try to discover the problem, I'm sure there are some wise people out there who can point me in the direction. My own thought is condensers, but I await some feedback first. Thanks for listening.

Hi, just joined the forum and searched for AMAL, and found this topic. I also have a TR6R, 1968, and whilst changing the throttle cable, the needle dropped out, with the securing clip which was separated. The book say's the clip should be fitted postion 1. Is this at the top of the needle?
