[QUOTE="Jim Richardson, post: 56306, member: 1160"] if you are getting a spark and the plugs are getting wet, it is worth checking that you are timed to the correct cylinder. The rear cylinder fires first and then 410 degrees later the front cylinder, you can mount a timing disc directly onto the crank, by removing the oil feed quill on the timing case and gently tapping in a suitable rod, such as a knitting needle. ( I have a piece of 8mm stst rod threaded on end to take the disc and tapered the other for the crank. I owned mainly Triumphs before getting into Vins about 8 years ago, once you get past the fear of the unknown, they are easy enough to work on and no head gasket to worry about. [/QUOTE]
