Hi all
First post so treat me gently...please
Been a Triumph man for many years than I care to remember, but recently acquired a restoration project of a 72 Roadster.
Before I start the project this coming winter, taking the opportunity to do some research as off sick :cry:
I have a few questions I would appreciate some views on
1. Choke mechanism or just use ticklers ( mine appears to have no external mechanism but have open holes in carb top plates.... to be honest none of my Triumphs do and have no cold starting issues at all
2. I Have a Boyer system fitted. one of the coils is leaking, do I replace the single 6v coil or fit a twin outlet coil (boyer or otherwise).... and the difficult one as I have read much on this..... 6 or 12 volt ..just put on my tin hat
3. Many rubber components will require replacement including the isolaticics.... do I fit standard or the Vernier type offered by RGM/Norvil....
3. Warning lamp assimilator... keep or ditch as not a legal requirement.
4. Has anyone fitted an on board oil pressure kit
Many more question to come I'm sure
Thanks for your assistance
