I have a 1952 Triumph 6t. I've ran two of my oil lines and having trouble with the other two. I order all the parts for the oil tank, but for the feed line I received a nut that doesn't seem long enough and no nipple to attach the line to. Does anyone have a picture of what it should look like?
The other line is the one that goes from the top of the oil tank to the bottom of the crank case and it seems like the two would need different diameter lines. Is there some sort of conection I should be using in the middle to increase the line diameter?
In regards to timing the bike I went down the road to a triumph guy to see if he had a degree wheel I could borrow and he said that bikes should not be timed this way and that it will not time them correctly. On the Triumph 101 DVD, Wes uses one to time his bike. So should I get a degree wheel? Also are those piston stop with the increments any good for timing?
The other thing is that the guy also said that because I have a solid gear on my magneto that the bike won't start and run properly. He told me I needed to buy an auto advance timing gear. Should I buy one or is the solid timing gear fine to run?
Cheers, Greg
