I have recently been asked to get a 1957 T 110 back on the road after the owner took it back off the guy who was restoring it due to no progress for the last 4 years or so. It has not run since the rebuild nor indeed for over 20 years prior to this. I have removed the mag, cleaned all the mushrooms out and am now getting a good spark, however when I took the timing cover off virtually no oil came out and I note that the oil tank is full. The Triumph oil pump has some one way valves to stop wet sumping but I am wondering whether there is some kind of procedure for priming the system prior to starting the bike. I will of course liberally douse the top end through the rocker covers prior to starting, but I don't want to miss out on some vital procedure.
Thanks for any advise on this.
