So, I checked the HT circuit. There were resistor caps and resistor plugs, doubling resistance to 8.5k ohms, and the HT leads were also quite...
Hi all, When my T140 Bonnie is warm, it is next to impossible to get neutral with the engine running but easy with the motor off. I have been...
I have opted for the Trispark coils. Will fot them and report back. Thanks all!
Interesting, thanks. I didn't know that. Both of my coils LT side measure 1.9ohms, so that is 3.8ohms total.
Thanks for the fast reply. It is a 79 T140e Bonneville. It has the original 2x 6v coils (wired in series). Problem I have is identifying reliable...
Hi all, I am replacing all my ignition system. New plugs, leads, caps etc ordered but I am struggling a bit in trying to choose coils so am...
Thanks All. I am going to refurb both carbs first, then check for voltage drop to the coils and EI. Will post back results.
Ok. So I pulled the RH carb from the bike and stripped it down. Here is a link to a picture of it:...
Interesting; my carbs don't seem to have a tickler, at least not like you find on Mk1 and Mk1.5 Amals. How do you tickle the Mk2 930s please?...
I will strip the carbs, put them in my ultrasonic cleaner for a couple of hours and inspect everything before ordering any required bits from...
Good plan, I hadn't thought of that. Will check compression too, as Wishbone suggests
Thanks Taff. My bike is a T140E with Mk2 2930 Amals, so no tickling required. Have been looking at the Amal site, thanks for the advice.
Evening all, I picked up the bike yesterday, a 1979 T140E in generally great mechanical condition. It is a UK bike from new but was ordered with...
Thanks chaps, So it sounds like the best way to go for dry grip is: Avon Road Riders 100/90x19 on the front and 110/90x18 on the rear. Are there...
Interesting, thanks! I did spot this: https://www.feked.com/110-90-x-18-avon-road-rider-am26-front-or-rear-motorcycle-tyre.html If I fit the...
Hi All, 1st job I need to do is replace the tyres on my '79 T140e. Whilst I appreciate this is a vintage bike, I don't necessarily want to fit...
Thanks everyone for all the info, what a great forum! I collated all the potential issues and passed them to the dealer and using them his...
Thanks Rocker, is the oil pump the cause of wet sumping? If so I could buy a Morgo unit for under £100. That would be a relatively cheap fix,...
Been researching and chatting to a mechanic friend: As a general rule; smoke on acceleration is usually rings, smoke on deceleration is usually...
Thanks Chaps, I don't think it was rebuild lube as this would have burned of fairly quickly. We had the engine running for 5 minutes after warm...
