Continuing to watch this video series. As your friend commented, you should absolutely change the other O-Ring as well, it's just a matter of time before it starts leaking, and by the look of the forward one, this will leak in the very near future. /cheers
Hi @JonDoesStuff71, that's very good advice. Luckily I purchased some extra o'rings so will crack on! and get to that job of replacing the o'ring on the intake side rocker shaft here in the coming weeks. Really appreciate your feedback that this is a job that needs doing. Cheers!
Hi @jcreek3889, that is a very good idea!! I think an oil pressure gauge will likely be my next modification! Really appreciate the input. If you haven't already, please subscribe. I really appreciate it!
@@MadTinkerman I fitted a combined oil pressure and charge indicator light from Improvingclassicmotorcycles and it is highly recommended. It’s not even noticeable when fitted and it seems like there’s only one left. You really should try it and maybe promote it on your channel (I have no interests in the the firm behind)
Hi @chrisbland8650, you're right again. There is no choke on this bike and it starts by just using the ticklers. Pretty common for Triumphs of this era to not have a choke although one could be fitted if chose. Thanks again for watching the videos! The bike is just about finished now. I took it for a ride a couple of days ago and just posted this video of how it performs after all the work we did on it. Let me know how you think it runs: th-cam.com/video/oYrN1pbENi4/w-d-xo.html
Hi @chrisbland8650, you're absolutely right the bike was missing at low speed and not running very well. In part 5 we take the carbs off and discover why it was running so bad and fix them up, temporarily, using Crest toothpaste ...that ones' worth a watch: th-cam.com/video/p_mYdRgNTkI/w-d-xo.html Thanks so much for the input and feedback! If you haven't already please subscribe, I'd really appreciate it. Cheers!

Why not fit an oil pressure warning light? Or better still a pressure gauge

I didn't see a choke being used?
