Ok... Got a basket case recently, but combined with the parts I've been acquiring for the last year or more, I can put most of this triumph together. Its a 1966 TR6. What I want to do right now is just make sure the motor will run. I took the covers off and looked inside all the caps I could and this thing looks good to go, but I would like to fire it up before I tear it down for paint.
As far as the motor wiring, nothing is really connected. Still running points, have two 12V coils, and a Boyer power unit. The coils have the plug wires attached and plugs are in the heads. There is wiring coming from below the cases from the stator. I think the guy that had it before was going to redo the wiring, but this is my dilemma... It seems like I'm missing something. Shouldn't I have a capacitor or does the boyer unit act as one? Also, I've heard on JJ that Boyer's like a 12V battery. I have no problem running one, but I need someone to give me the skinny on what I need. Wiring is my weakness. I'll wrench on something all day, but wiring throws me off every time. Any info would be really helpful. Thanks.
