    I watched a few videos, i have a '95 T Bird, cafe style that i bought running. Love the bike. Coincidentally, i have also have a two tone '71 VW that i got running and many years ago had a '63 F100 Unibody like your step side.
    I looked for your final shake down video but maybe it hasnt been made?
    Only problem i ever had with my '95 is what i found to be a fairly common problem that occurs with this model. The crank timing sensor can fail because it's down in the right side engine cover, heat eventually damages it. Mine quit, it mimics a fuel problem, vaporlock, runs until it heats up.
    Changed it, it runs fine.

      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...

    I watched it so many times, however can you show me the location of the engine mounts . My next move is to drop the engine down

    Coils read around 9k. Ignition sensors fail as well. Fit PVL not the Gill ones. I tend to lose the clutch switch and prop switch as well. Never wind the bike over and over like that, sprag will go again when battery gets low! Triumph should start on the button. If need winding over you have a problem.

      @@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!
