Triumph motor

Anyone recognize this motor?

The seller claims it is from one of Gary Nixon's bike and has papers to prove provenance. He also has sixty old motorcycles for sale, a few are Brits mostly European off road, Maico ,CZ, Bultaco, a couple of Ducati Scramblers and lots of other interesting stuff.

Neat. ARD mag placement, webber or dual Del'lorto, alphabet, cool finned primary and probably no alternator. Going Racing?

Dag Nabbit , thats the one Im looking for . Youd be mad not to purloin and make off with it under your arm , immediatly.Even though it is unit construction , youll have to live with that .

First thing establish exact valve clearances & ignition timeing . AS SET .

Then , send ( the Engine to ME ) :mrgreen:

Some off these swine will rev to 8.000

Romero I think claims they ran one out to 11.000 . Should do that with the Weber there , if a molybidinum Crank or whatever .

BE VERY CAREFULL at all stages handling . take copious notes and pictures . and dont let anyone touch it , But Me . :wink:

Matt, I'm not interested in buying the Triumph motor, but might buy one or two of the complete bikes this fellow has for sale.
On the other hand I might go crazy and buy his Maico collection, 15 bikes in various stages of repair.

If you are interested in the Triumph motor I will get the details for you, or can put you in touch with the seller.

Didnt see it was YOU . I tought you were saveing up for a R D 350 ? P.M. on way .

If it has lightened (drilled) timing gears, I've seen it before. I was set to buy it and the guy moved leaving no forwarding address. I'm 99% sure it's the same engine.

I heard mention the gut that had it when i saw it, might not have obtained it and some bikes completely legitimately, so I didn't persue it.

(I didn't recall the Hunt mag, it may not have been on there at the time)
