How to check the ignition timing on a triumph?
You can then use a timing light to check the ignition timing by the moving timing marks and the fixed timing mark in the primary cover; however, nothing in or on the primary side of the engine – not Woodruff key, alternator rotor nor timing cover – has any effect on the ignition timing.
Where can I tune my Triumph Bonneville motor?
At “Jenks Bolts®” we get regular enquiries about tuning the Bonneville motor and the “best” carbu- rettor setup for a particular exhaust system and riding style.
What happens if a Triumph Bonneville is too lean?
Too rich and you’re wasting fuel, spewing more pol- lutants, diluting your oil, fouling engine parts, and as a result performance suffers. Too lean and you run the risk of detonation, damage to the valves caused by overheating and performance suffers.
What’s the best IGN timing for a Triumph T110?
I haven’t done a pre unit electronic kit yet but if you have an auto advance mag i would assume you advance the ring to fully advanced at the BTDC mark as the mag will advance as the revs rise. You need to set the ign timing at 39 degs BTDC when fully advanced. Best way is to strobe it at high revs.
Where do carbs go on a Triumph Bonneville?
This was followed by loosening the hose clamps attaching the carbs to the intake manifolds… in my case the TPUSA billet manifolds. This allows the entire carb assembly to come off the engine and can be turned sideways on the left side of the bike.
Why is my Triumph Bonneville not running properly?
After the piston is back in place and seated correctly all the way around, it is time to reinstall the cover. Make sure you remember to tighten the 4 screws down the same amount. If one is a little loose, outside air will be pulled into the carb and it will run lean, causing the engine to not run correctly.
How does the CVK work on a Triumph Bonneville?
As the piston floats up and down, it raises and lowers the needle inside this main jet. This action is what regulates the gas flow into the carb. After the piston is back in place and seated correctly all the way around, it is time to reinstall the cover. Make sure you remember to tighten the 4 screws down the same amount.
Can a vacuum piston be removed from a Triumph Bonneville?
It is important to know that you must hold the cover down while you loosen the last screw or the spring inside the carb may push the cover off unexpectedly, and you may lose or damage a part. After the diaphragm cover is carefully removed, remove and carefully store the spring. Now it is time to remove the vacuum piston.
