I would have thought it must have a wet sumping issue to start with, or there wouldn't be room to get an extra 2 litres in it - by the time you've put in the 2.25 litres it holds, it's almost up to the filler neck. The crankcase must have been full.
@@paulhenshaw4514 It's not a 1978 or 1979 model, Triumph were building the T140E then. It looks to me like a 1976 or 1977 T140V Bonneville that's had Amal Mk2 carbs added at a later date. The switch gear is a dead giveaway, The '78 T140E had black switch gear not the polished aluminium ones on that Bonnie.
I said T140V in the title, not T140E, one of which features in one of my more recent videos, by the way. I said 'about' '78/79, but will not argue over a year or two, if I am wrong.
I won't argue the toss over a year or two, it is a T140V and not totally standard. It is not my bike, just one I worked on. More recently worked on and seen in a more recent video I made, is an all original, low mileage T140E

Sounds good

It had stood idle for quite some time, wet sumped as a result and the owner had just 'topped the oil up' - that basically explains it.
They look like mk2 Amals what year is that ?
They are MK II Amals. The bike is from about 1978/79.
