2.2 minute video describing a kick start issue with this Triumph

Interior of gas tank arrived coated with an unknown red product. It was cleaned & sealed, then painted

The fenders, chain guard, side

cover & oil tank needed

alot of bodywork

- not filler putty -

to straighten & repair the damage

The paint on the fenders, oil tank & side cover were cracked & peeling. This is why we always strip our painted parts to the bare metal & never paint over old paint

Wheel Rebuilding & Truing

Chainguard

Fender

"Chocolate Milkshake" found in primary case caused by a mix of oil & water

From this ...

Found inside the Amal carburetor - oxidation caused by water pulled in by either the bike being left out in the rain or the hygroscopic effect caused by ethanol in local gasoline
