Check you have spark and fuel getting to the combustion chamber - could be many things from a dodgy fuel tap to a defunct coil - just be systematic and you'll suss it. Lots of help on yootoob.

Triumph charging systems can be suspect - probably regulator/rectifier but check the condition of your generator - usually just under a cover at the base and left of your engine - if the copper windings are blackened you'll need to check it's viability but its probably toast. Likely this is OK though and you'll just need to replace your reg/reg. Get a MOSFET one from people like Electrex or https://www.triumphparts.co.uk/. When fitted recheck - you should be getting a healthy 13 plus at least on tickover.

2 or 3 day belters would be Swansea west around Gower then toward Carmarthen. Any sections between Broad Haven north to Cardigan I could also recommend. For castles start at Harlech in the north and head up - dragons more frequent up there so keep a canary on your shoulder.

Yep - engine swap - take your time over choosing a replacement, get help and careful with those heavy lumps.

Now if the wiring was Friar Tucked - then you'd have problems.

Thanks - worth knowing.

It's your head gasket - have a look at Youtube for repairs - oil and coolant should be kept separate - a little bit like sharks and chickens.

Thanks for the positive energy - its a 270 - one of the last.

After spending too much time at Warp Factor 3 on various motorways, I decided in order to live a bit longer, to switch down to something a bit smaller and funkier. Have always admired the TDM's so have just got an old 850 for a change. Has a Delkavic on which is ridiculously loud and has to go. Otherwise first impressions are good - it is tall though.

Best race in the world.
