Moin Boys and Girls,

I have re-entered the world of the TR1 after the last TR1 self destructed its motor.
I bought this bike a couple of months ago and at that time it ran OK. There were a few problems to sort out but nothing major.
After the first ride it was obvious it needed new steering bearings. Did that.
It had been reluctant to fire up the front cylinder, but it always chimed in after a sort while.
Now its almost a Dodo.

So far I have:
Cleaned the carbs and fitted new needle & jet kits to both (in the right order )
Diaphragm appear to be AOK. No holes /tear's
Checked and set the float height's - I had the idea the front level was too high.
Checked the pri/sec ohm values of the coils and swapped them between cylinders.
Fitted new the HT leads / caps
New spark plugs.
Sworn at it and beaten it with a stick.

All to no avail, in fact it seams worse and the new plug on the front cylinder is almost as shiny as when I put it in, but wet.

Whats left? The TCI?
The sparks on the front plug do seem a little dim, but maybe I'm clutching at straws...

 
Help me! I'm lost with my TR1  

Much as I though to be honest  
Herbert is looking for a TCI that I can try as the next step

Thanks.

Hi Nanno, yup, swapped the coils. Both read 2.8 / 8.6 ohm.

Compression test this evening... when I find my tester  

Perfectly fine. I was hoping to find one of them being really far off as you have with like a bent valve or so...  

Hi John,
i heard from Herbert you decided to try  TR 1 again, in my opinion: a good decision.
I can´t help from a far, but i am sure you will solve that problem you have.
Got a picture of that destructed motor , the one from your last TR.
Herbert  delivered a set of bits and pieces  to northern Germany,
new crank, new bearings, oilpump and a lot more was necessary to built up something i can call a motor.
No tests has been done until now, because of corona.
But i hope it will work fine for many Kilometers or maybe miles,
Ali
