Fitting a four valve oil pump doesn't wet sump,but you'll need to shave a bit off from the inside of the cover. Your Fitting of the trispark looks good 👍.
@Segsy59 does the four valve oil pump guarantee zero wet sumping? Wondering how it works differently from the regular two valve pump to prevent it? Less than six months ago I replaced the original oil pump with a Morgo two valve based on lots of advice from Triumph owners. Only want to redo this job if it would resolve the problem. Really appreciate the input and your thoughts on this.
Ive owned Bonnies since the 80s, I still ride two 1972 Bonnies (one original, one special) regularly...you have a lovely bike mate...but watching tou start it on the centre stand made me cringe.
@johnhawden4118, thanks so much for your kind words regarding the bike! Genuinely curious about starting on the centre stand. Curious, why doing that in the garage is particularly cringeworthy? :) Cheers!
Had the 79 T140 D US model with 2 into 1 exhaust..installed the pertronics in the 90's and never touched any part of the ignition since would even start with a really low battery ..You say yours is hard to kick ? or were you being factitious ? I used to reach down and start mine by hand
@snapon666, firstly thanks so much for watching the video! That's really interesting that you had '79 T140D and found it easy to start. Mine is a brute. I weigh about 180lbs and can stand and put all my weight on the kick start and it doesn't move. I have to literally jump on it to get it to turn over at any kind of speed. The bike is in good condition with compression around 110 PSI on each cylinder and no compression release. Curious how you could turn your's over so easily. Did '79 have a compression release? That sure as heck would help. If you haven't already, please subscribe. I'd really appreciate it! Cheers!
@@MadTinkerman no comp release don't know what my comp was no smoke even on cold start and still hauled ass even 2 up I weighed around 260 but would just sit on the seat and use leg ..I wonder if there is a different gear ratio for the starter ? mine was long kicker like yours ??? subscribed

I start mine with side stand down but not resting on it. If on centre stand it dances about too much

@@MadTinkerman after some checking online seems the comp ratio was all over the pl;ace from 7.4 to 8.6 ?
Nice vid.....looking at similar ignition for my Norton Commando, whats the price range for the kit?
