Yeah of course you will 😁....or maybe not 😩,it's a triumph ...if it wants to work it will ..or if it thinks "nah sod it ,I can't be bothered " it won't.
Hey Dominique, really love your videos and this is a great series as well. Have you thought about investing in an ultrasonic cleaner? They are amazing and clean things like carburetors and bicycle parts, that kind of stuff cleaner than any solvent will ever do. And it’s all effort free.
Dom, the tube with the little hole in its side at the top is, as you say the oil return. When you get the motor running and confirm that you have oil returning to the tank it is worthwhile blocking that hole with your finger for a minute or so. This will then force more returning oil to flow to the valve gear.
Boy am I glad someone who knows more about exhaust pipes than I do noted my concern about how you would ride and not get burned 😅. Great episode! Happy Christmas to you and the crew! Can’t wait for the next (and maybe finale) episode to hear the bike alive😍👏🏼❤️👏🏼❤️👏🏼❤️
Alan Millard had similar problem, the pipe leg shield got hot enough to burn his legs. He used pieces of artificial coal from flame effect fired on the inside of the shields. See his vid.
Agreed. My Triumph T100C had the original high level pipes on it when I bought it. They look good but it's too easy to scald the rider or passenger's leg or melt throw-over luggage. I switched to more standard, low level pipes for ease of use.
Hey Dom, make sure you use (right from the start) a running in or flushing oil that contains the flat tappet anti scuff ZDDP zinc additive, the most dangerous time for cams and flat followers is the initial break in period! Roland, HT Racing Ltd
My Uncle had a pipe from overflow of oil tank fitted into a empty tin of brazzo fastened to rear of bike as a catch can, kept rear of bike clean of oil. Bikes always seem more personal than cars, Brilliant.
Hi again Dom. Still loving the bike and wish I could weld as good as you. Just have to mention that the oil tank breather is a froth tower which helps to take impurities out of the oil as it vents to atmosphere which is why it was so tall (not sure if Triumph towers had baffles in also). Now it has been shortened you really must put a hose from the spigot on it and lead it to the end of the back mudguard as was common practice. You might do well to add a catch tank to the end of the hose to catch oily residue to prevent your back tyre becoming contaminated. Can't wait to see it running.
Hi! Thank you yes I appreciate I have compromised things but I plan to run it into a little catch tank, that’s just another job for the list! Thank you for the advice I appreciate it
Another brilliant episode Dom. Great work on the carb rebuild and oil tank reconfiguration. The pipes look great but hope you don’t get burnt riding the wonderful looking bike. Looking forward to seeing you riding the Tiger next week ❤😊
Looking well Dom, and no complaints about them exhausts pipes, you can't beat them on price. 😉👍 But... it'll probably cost the same amount again to get them plated, unless you go down the VHT route... Can't wait to see it finished. All the best, Ben at Raysons Exhausts
Hi Ben, ah I did think of you when ordering them, don’t worry the plan is absolutely to have a custom exhaust made by yourself, I just got these for now so we can get it running and set it all up etc, hence the bare steel, thanks for the support
You got a great feeling when it comes to the mix between patina and make a useful vehicle. Love the mix in this channel. Bikes,buses,signs and Porsche. I’m a VW enthusiast myself so keep up the good work and can’t wait to see next episode of the Porsche.
@@DominicChineas waiting for parts. And day job getting in the way! I’ll be on the next episode after Christmas. Fancy bringing yours to the 75th anniversary bash of the Triumph owners club? Shelsley Walsh hill climb in May. If so, I could probably get you a slot to take it up the hill!
I stumbled across your channel and have become a fan. I love you enthusiastic approach (infectious) and willingness to take sound advice. Sitting here having a coffee and fruit mince pies, midday Monday in Australia. Oh, and it's warm, 31c. Cheers Tony
The size of the hole in the return tube is quite important. It's smaller than the tube diameter to create enough pressure in the return line to push oil up to the valve gear from the tee in that line.
I’ve rebuilt many old and neglected carbs but that was, without a doubt, the worst mess I’ve ever seen. You did a marvelous job cleaning that. Oh, BTW, that oil return looks like it is definitely going to come shooting out.
I always use ATF in the clutch and primary chain case. Makes it less likely to slip, though possibly not a problem with a 350. I have a T100R Daytona with a heady 39 bhp! Twin carbs and E3134 cams.
Merry Xmas to you too Dom. For the past months, your videos have been my little treat during Monday lunch, it makes my busy Mondays less stressful! Can't wait to see this one roaring and can't wait to see the Porsche taking shape!
Hi Dom, There are two tiny drillings for the pilot mixture, they exit just under the slide on the engine side and a little farther inwards.. Judging from the amount of crap you found it is very likely they are still blocked. Usually the jet block inside the carb needs to be removed to clean them.. You could try and squirt carb cleaner in through the pilot screw hole and see if you can see the cleaner shooting out the tiny holes in the body.. If you need to remove the jet block, put the carb in hot water and it should push out from the bottom once the main and needle jet holder is removed.. Happy Christmas
I subscribed to your channel for the Porsche rebuild, yet here I am, enjoying your very thorough Triumph Tiger 90 rebuild - and I wasn’t even interested in motorcycles 😬😂😂😂😂
Hi well looking good. You should have done air pressure test on oil tank,well done for relocating oil return pipe now lots of kicking without plugs to make sure oil is flowing. Hopefully you didn’t over tighten carb. Ps after first run tighten head bolt and redo tappets. She looks very similar to mine. Enjoy the freedom no pun intended.😊
Fantastic, mate. Must admit not a big fan of the exhaust pipes both on same side, siamese style. I think they look to 'unbalance' the bike. Brilliant project. Season's greetings to everybody.
the pipes i had were high level but one each side so they were shaped in more and didn't need heat shield, yours look pretty straight so might be a worry also don't forget they will probably want silencers of some ilk and they look pretty close together.
Woop woop. Gotta love a tick list. Whatever was that little cup made of that didn't dissolve in the solvent?! (Great shot through the Ranalah at the end there 👏 )
Dom mate that's looking skill. Just one thing I noticed - does the exhaust need a heat guard? You're gonna give yourself a lovely burn to the leg if you're not careful! It's great work though, I've enjoyed this. Do you think you'll get an ultrasonic cleaner?
never really had any interest in "bikes" but really enjoying this series as they are far far more complex than you think, even an old bike like this. my interest in bikes has been hightened....personally that exhuast looks awfull !
just a couple of points for the long term those screws holding the end of the float bowl - just a drop of loctite - i remember a ride home from the pub on my mates 650 triumph with me as pillion bent down with my arm under his leg holding the end of the float bowl on cause the screws had fallen out. the oil pipes - my 5TA only had copper pipes but there was an oil leak i could not locate until one day i realised the pipes where touching and there was a pin prick of a hole in one of them where they had rubbed. can you get a dipstick in the oil tank to check the level now you have moved the filler to the side?
...... You'll be right, Dom.....usually best practice to IGNORE RUclips 'advice'....i should think... ....too many assorted 'engineers' and other 'experts' here, for comfort.....!!
Have you not effectively reduced the capacity of the oil tank? ...will this not affect the engine temperature? (also curious to see if the side-mounted cap leaks).
Carb is a wear item, and that one is 50+ years old, and will be completely worn out. Bike run with worn out carbs, but would go much better with a new carb. Nibbi carbs work well, and cost about £50.
I expect you’ve probably got hundreds of people saying this washing out well groining dust and shell metal bearings don’t go very well together. You might get away with it on a roller bearing engine but not a shell bearing engine Michael
That saddle looks so sagged and sad! Why not get some upholstery foam glue and shape it to "fill it up"? I did it myself repairing an couch armrest. Was not very hard. Just need a sprayglue designed for foam, and the foam has the be the right type and thickness and you get can it online easy or over the counter in lots of hobby stores. Great build to follow! :)
Dom, oil tank pipe , rubber - hot oil- jubilee clips……..just save yourself from a rear end oily tyre disaster……take them off , fit some Goodridge braided hose with proper oil clamps……safe as houses 👍
I agree and if the bike isn’t standard which it isn’t put the Amal in the bin and fit a mikuni, no more leaks, tickling, wet jeans and rides like a Japanese bike, infinitely better if not an original restoration

Thank you for all of the support with this project so far, the end is in sight!! what do you think, will we get it running?!
Of course you will!! And ride it at the DGR...and turn right out of the Repair Shop and blast effortlessly up Trundle Hill!! Cheers Steve 💚
Yeah of course you will 😁....or maybe not 😩,it's a triumph ...if it wants to work it will ..or if it thinks "nah sod it ,I can't be bothered " it won't.
Of course!
Yep
Might need the carb settings fiddled with but it'll absolutely run.
i hope so! @@kingcal53
Really difficult to restore something and still retain all those years of character and patina - you’ve nailed it 👍
Thank you!
Hey Dominique, really love your videos and this is a great series as well. Have you thought about investing in an ultrasonic cleaner? They are amazing and clean things like carburetors and bicycle parts, that kind of stuff cleaner than any solvent will ever do. And it’s all effort free.
Funny as he was cleaning the carb I thought the same ultrasonic cleaner 😂👍
Ultrasonic ultrasonic is THE ONLY WAY to do carbs and small jet with small holes etc. good job on the bike

That’s a good idea for the vent which is currently just aiming at the back tyre, probably not ideal! I might steal that idea thank you
You gotta do more classic bike restorations Dom, this has been great!
I hope to! Just need to find the next wreck haha
Oh Dom, you tease! Can’t wait for next week. Exhaust looks fantastic. That carb, wow, gunk!!
I enjoyed the way you tackled that tank head on with out hesitation…..well done👍👍
Now, about that ultrasonic bath Dom... So useful
Starting to look brilliant , cannot wait to hearing it runnine.
Looks the business Dom!
Hey Dom starting to look amazing , really enjoyed this one ..looking forward to the next now ..
Almost there Dom start that thing!!!

That’s interesting, I haven’t changed the size of the hole though so we are ok!
@@DominicChineas, shouldn't matter then, but it's something to bear in mind in case you need to modify it at some point.
Another excellent video. Reconfiguring that oil tank was just great. Looking forward to next week.
It’s looking great Dom - I cannot wait to hear the engine turn over.
Thank you
Great progress Dominic. Can't wait to see it run. Hope to see it at a show next summer
I think so yes. It Will run with both of you!!
Can't wait to see it!
Merry Christmas Dom and John

Thank you! I did move it a bit, fingers crossed! To be honest if there is oil returning I’ll be so pleased I don’t mind if it comes out!
Is the oil cap a press fit, is there any chance that the oil pressure will slowly push the cap off?
Ahhhh! Great Teaser! I can't wait for next week!
Nice one - can’t wait to hear it roar into life again! 🚢🇬🇧🚂⛏
What a tease!
Can’t wait to hear it
I always use ATF in the clutch and primary chain case. Makes it less likely to slip, though possibly not a problem with a 350. I have a T100R Daytona with a heady 39 bhp! Twin carbs and E3134 cams.
Looking good.
I guarantee you'll need a heat shield on the exhaust to keep from roasting your leg...
i was looking at that exhaust thinking OH ER danger !
you got here first
@@tomford5416ha!.......not exactly 'rocket science', guys........

Haha! Don’t worry I did spent quite some time working that out, they are definitely the correct way round!
Cannot wait to watch later something to look forward too.

Hello Dom I hope you have a merry Christmas and a prosperous new year.
Love the videos 🫶🇬🇧👍
Merry Christmas Dom ,looking forward to hearing it running.
Same! Thank you
good job dom .
Thank you!
Wow! Ccan't wait till next week to hear that engine run. Best of luck
Fantastic mate, its looking amazing and well worth it. looking for to hearing her. well done 👏
Really enjoying this.. can’t wait for next week! 👍🏻
Next week should be the big one! Thank you for watching
Great video,I’m glad that your on the final stretch of the build.just continue on doing what your doing and carry on 👍👍👍😎😎😎

Thanks for entertaining us again 😀
Great progress.
Dom, perhaps you could put a deflector on the pipe ?
One of my pleasures is taking my carbs off stripping them down and cleaning them (only on my British bikes though) 😊
the pipes i had were high level but one each side so they were shaped in more and didn't need heat shield, yours look pretty straight so might be a worry also don't forget they will probably want silencers of some ilk and they look pretty close together.
Looking great Merry xmas
Thanks, you too!
Lots of great work, but have you not considered fitting an inline cartridge oil filter?
Merry Christmas to you.
Good luck not burning ya left leg inner thigh with those " desert racer " pipes !!
Haha maybe some kind of heat shield will be needed!
Awesome have a good one dom merry crimbo :)
Great vid as usual!
Woop woop. Gotta love a tick list.
Whatever was that little cup made of that didn't dissolve in the solvent?!
(Great shot through the Ranalah at the end there 👏 )
That’s what happens when dan cross comes to film! We get all the nice shots!
@@DominicChineas that's what I said!!
Iv liked watching you rebuild the triumph, I've only owned and rebuilt BSA's but the exhaust pipe just dont look rite , but each to their own
Watch the film called 'The Worlds fastest Indian ' about a Kiwi called Bert Munro and see what he did with his exhaust, you might want to do the same
p.s. dont forget the exhaust clamps.
Dom mate that's looking skill. Just one thing I noticed - does the exhaust need a heat guard? You're gonna give yourself a lovely burn to the leg if you're not careful! It's great work though, I've enjoyed this. Do you think you'll get an ultrasonic cleaner?
I haven't seen the crank case vent tube that runs beneath the motor to the inside of the rear mudguard😊Daniel
It’s definitely there!
Hi Dom, nearly across the line now. What was the stuff you soaked the carb body in? It looked like new when you reassembled it.
Caustic soda! Careful though as it dissolves aluminium
Thanks for letting me know.
@@DominicChineas
never really had any interest in "bikes" but really enjoying this series as they are far far more complex than you think, even an old bike like this. my interest in bikes has been hightened....personally that exhuast looks awfull !
I would have been tempted to stick the carb in an ultrasonic cleaner.
I would have if I had one!
just a couple of points for the long term
those screws holding the end of the float bowl - just a drop of loctite - i remember a ride home from the pub on my mates 650 triumph with me as pillion bent down with my arm under his leg holding the end of the float bowl on cause the screws had fallen out.
the oil pipes - my 5TA only had copper pipes but there was an oil leak i could not locate until one day i realised the pipes where touching and there was a pin prick of a hole in one of them where they had rubbed.
can you get a dipstick in the oil tank to check the level now you have moved the filler to the side?
Fibre washer goes under the seat. Filter acts as lower union seal.
I’m not sure it does? I think I followed the diagram in the manual!
...... You'll be right, Dom.....usually best practice to IGNORE RUclips 'advice'....i should think...
....too many assorted 'engineers' and other 'experts' here, for comfort.....!!
Have you not effectively reduced the capacity of the oil tank? ...will this not affect the engine temperature? (also curious to see if the side-mounted cap leaks).
It still holds plenty of oil, I don’t think it would ever be absolutely brimmed anyway! I think we will be ok
Carb is a wear item, and that one is 50+ years old, and will be completely worn out. Bike run with worn out carbs, but would go much better with a new carb. Nibbi carbs work well, and cost about £50.
Hi Dom. Did you fit the rubber oil feed pipe to the rockers? You appeared to just join the return from the oil pump straight into the oil tank...
Yes that all got connected I just didn’t film it, thank you for the note
Did you consider an external oil filter? I'm thinking of fitting a Morgo filter to my Tiger 90 to keep the crank shaft tube and oil tank clean.
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm........... Number plate light ? ( or is there a clear spot on the bottom of the light that you fitted ? )
Just put the proper seat on it
No chance!
bom.
could u not have built brackets to raise the seat
That would have made it look a bit silly
I can smell those fried thighs from here 😁.
See you later ,oh yeah nearly forgot ..MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MATE !!!

Dom, oil tank pipe , rubber - hot oil- jubilee clips……..just save yourself from a rear end oily tyre disaster……take them off , fit some Goodridge braided hose with proper oil clamps……safe as houses 👍
What do you mean “proper oil clamps?” Do you have an example?
I know others have mentioned it, but how will you manage the heat from the exhaust pipes which appear to be perilously close to the legs?
I’m not sure yet! Maybe wrap it
Thankyou for some superb videos during 2023. Merry Christmas Dom and the team 🎉
Have a great Christmas 🎄
Hi Dom, what did you soak the carb in. Came out mega clean.
Good old cow stick soda!
Nice one Dom. Have a good xmas from NZ mate
Thanks, you too!
We’ve been through that amal carb rebuild several times. The best, quickest and most successful way is to buy a new one.
I agree and if the bike isn’t standard which it isn’t put the Amal in the bin and fit a mikuni, no more leaks, tickling, wet jeans and rides like a Japanese bike, infinitely better if not an original restoration
