Pete Lewis Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 forgot to say on the dizzy cap thats anticlockwise from wherever No1 is Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyn wright Posted April 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 Yes! The problem was that the photo in the Triumph Workshop Manual shows in the picture at the Dynamo end, with the HT leads starting at No1 thro to No6 and in the Owners Handbook the HT leads next to the Dynamo starts at No6 and this threw me a little! Anyway I had the right sequence! but the starter motor is a little slow and the engine would not turn over fully? I then found a small leak at the Adjusting Screw under the Stromberg Carb.

Pete Lewis Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 have you disturbed the ht leads if you need to confirm where No 1 is remove plugs stick thumb over no1 hole turn engine slowly till you feel air start to push past thumb now turn to align TDC markers , flip dizzy cap and see where the rotor points ...thats where no1 lead needs to fit Quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
