@@yellowperilbiker I really appreciate the feedback but I'm a little lost by the beginning of the comment. What are you referring to with the coils and PVL not Gill? Genuinely interested as I'm trying to get this bike right! Thank you!

Seems like a great deal, especially if you can reuse things like the engine wiring and computer!

I am right in the middle of moving (with the bug) from NC to Columbia, MO. You can always DM me on IG or send an email at ratchetmotorsnc@gmail.com

@@BrambleRun I still have it! I'm in the middle of a move from NC to MO but you can email me at ratchetmotorsnc@gmail.com or DM on IG if you want to figure something out!

Agreed! I need to get the carb cleaned, I think the jets might be gummed up. Probably worth checking the ignition system as well.

Thanks for the support! I actually sold the car but did not have any issues prior with the mufflers. Best of luck!

Thanks for the advice! No drain plug on the unit, it is not meant to be drained.

Thanks for the support! And yes still the stock T1 for now.

Best of luck!

Sadly, I think this all came down to a bad engine ground. I'm fairly certain the coil pack has no issues other than a lack of earf.

I am by no means an expert but I do feel like load is a factor. My failed sprag also seemed "normal" during removal and inspection but sounded like ball bearings in my crankcase during startup before changing

Thanks for the support!

Thank you! I appreciate it!

Lol I just bought a basket case for sure! 😂

Thanks for the support!

I just rebuilt the slave cylinder a couple months ago as I thought that was the original problem. I'm hoping it hasn't already failed again but I'm running out of options.

@@RatchetMotors believe me I know how you feel. no shop around me will even work on mine so i can even take it in to anyone. havent taken the clutch cover off but i think that may be my next mot to try and figure it out. lesson i learned from this is never buy another triumph

I appreciate that! I spent a lot of time trying to keep the changes as subtle as possible. SOHC heads definitely make fitment much easier than DOHC.

@@RatchetMotors my dad was a bug guy back in the day, in Puerto Rico. The first thing I learned was to look at the lid. 😬

I agree and I also definitely came close to flooding the engine with all the cranking. Any ideas on the clutch?

@@RatchetMotors i will watch the video all the way through and see what problems you have and get back to you. I'm a bike tech from the UK so we should be able to sort it .

@@RatchetMotors first thing , you must soak the friction plates in oil for 24 hrs don't put them in dry or you will destroy them very fast . try that first .

make you its motorcycle oil with jaso ma /ma2 spec

Unfortunately, I seem to be suffering from a sticking clutch. I was able to get the bike to run somewhat reliably but still cannot get the clutch to disengage for the life of me. I'm diving in now and will likely rebuild the clutch. Video should be coming out very soon! Thanks for the advice!

⁠@@RatchetMotorshey so I’m working with a client right now and I need some help. He’s having some trouble because oil is being pumped into the air box. There is a fitting with a tube on the left side of the bike it’s like right under the horn on your bike. It has a rubber tube connected to it. I believe it’s the oil pump. Do you know where that tube is suppose to go to or can you check on your bike and get back to me. I’m not sure if it runs somewhere back into the engine or if it’s blocked off with a fitting please save me the headache and get back to me

@@RatchetMotors it’s the tube that’s right above the water pump and right below the horn, the fitting that is apart of the left side of the chrom casing. Just want to know where that tube/hose goes to because oil is spilling everywhere. Can you tell me where it’s suppose to route to or is it plugged off

Fit PVL coils and ignition sensor. Gill are more likely to fail...

Just the 4 bolts! It might seem questionable but I've had no problems in several years now. I will install a kafer brace or additional supports at some point but so far so good. Best of luck!

Best of luck and thanks!

No real reason other than it was cheap and simple. More of a proof of concept to make sure everything worked. I will probably make the stock fuel tank work eventually

If you're feeling generous, I could really use that fancy tool after you're done with it.

Yes I have a 73 Super so MacPherson struts in the front from factory. I purchased everything directly from Top Line Parts www.toplineparts.com/

Thanks a lot!

My rears are 8.5 with et55 and I'm using a 30mm spacer. Best of luck!

Dude I had the exact same issue lol I was lowkey not upset tho the bigger the better lol the were also d3ve -a2a on the 460 that I thought was a 429 from previous owner

Fantastic actually!

@@RatchetMotors Great! Just did the same on my bug a month ago.

Yes that is correct. It is an HEI distributor and just setup this way for test fire.

What exactly are you referring to? I get all my info from the Haynes Manual amzn.to/41uZ2jG

Thanks for the input! I haven't driven too hard yet but I'll definitely keep that all in mind when I start pushing things. I had heard before about the 944 torsion bars so that's pretty high on my to-do list for the future.

Well, I didn't want to have to explain all this in my first post. YOU might want to go a bit larger than 944 bars. My '73 handled incredibly well in all circumstances until I autocrossed the car. On hard launches or hard L->R/R->L transitions, the car would slam down on the bumpstops. For my current car ('74 1303), I am using 26mm torsion bars. I stayed with 125# springs on the front, but will keep an eye on it. I may go to 150#

Thanks for the support!

Yes all of that is correct! 17x7/9 and 76mm center cap. Best of luck!

Thank you for a great video and explanation.

Can you please provide the part number for the center caps? The are located in the rear part of the center cap.

@@ivanbadillo5463 the center cap for the wheels? I don't have that unfortunately, I bought everything used from FB marketplace

When you get a chance if you remove one of the center caps the P/N is engraved there.
