    These videos are awesome. Most show the ta-da it's all done. Instead these show the trial and error, the true work that goes into the ta-da. Thank you for showing the true cost, of time, that goes into a build.

    Loved my 1970 Custom 650 Bonneville.
    Rear lowered with struts. Six inch over front end. Sportster tank. Custom seat and sissy bar. Fattest rear tire that would fit. Blown out storty glasspacks and twin Mikunis. Pullback apehangers. Red-orange paint. It was one sweet old screw.
    Always tempted to take it back to stock.
    Gotta love an old trumpet.

    Great video! Triumph actually has the spacer you made out of your old stator and it is part # 70-3384. As you know your 1950's bike would have come with the large cush drive spring/sprocket on the engine and a non cush drive clutch. Pre units were great at allowing mix and match possibilities. Cheers dano........

      danielowen7845.... Would like to know how you sourced that spacer# for Weeks? I owned a '68T100C that I chopped back in 1970. Sold it to help buy a new '78 T140E Bonny. It's in a few big pieces. Turned head into no-lead, new guides,springs,hardened valve seats and stainless valves. Gotta get it running before I turn 74!!

    The top end was farmed out. Quite right too. Old wiring but installing a battery, 'they didn't use gaskets in the fifties' 'We're going for reliability' Condradiction central. Looks like the Gearbox had to be pulled back a long way! Any adjustment left for the future??

    • @weemsmotorco
      @weemsmotorco  9 месяцев назад

      Brooks you are all over it! Yes there is more than enough adjustment left as I had it originally screwed all the way toward the front. As for the Gaskets it is true on those portions of the engine and gearbox!

    What does the manual say about the pressure plate allowable tolerance for being trued?

    • @weemsmotorco
      @weemsmotorco  10 месяцев назад +3

      No tolerance listed. It just says it should spin true. I guess it depended on how good of an eye ball the assembler had and if his glasses prescription was good to go! ....LOL!

  • @TheReverb1
    @TheReverb1 9 месяцев назад

    Mate; you have the facts pretty wrong; for example: the primary oil in the older pre units is SAE20; not 20w50; oil is for the chain not for the clutch; clutch should be dry (you understand what the plates do?); even more without the corks inserts (seems you have a newer clutch and no spring shock absorber, but the newer drum with the rubbers are you sure?)
    You also need to take more care of your connecting rods (as seen in the last part of the previous video and in this one that are rubbing to the edge of the cases bores--aluminum fatigue is something that is not possible to know exactly--)
