  1. NO O RINGS on the plungers! Buy new springs and balls as a matter of the pump.rebuild. No scoring must be seen or felt on either the pump bores or plungers. Balls are seated on their seats by a sharp tap with a hammer and brass drift prior to assy. Lots of CLEAN oil everywhere prior to bolting onto the motor with a NEW gasket. As i said before, if you want to work inside these engines, they are very simple, but you want a parts book and w/shop manual. If you don't want to spend money, i'm sure a lot of it is online. I personally like hard paper copies of everything i work on, or take apart and rebuild. (just paid 50 quid recently for a ty mono manual....). LFH means it's made in England rather than China or Taiwan, and i'm not joking as you can get plenty of stuff for Brit bikes from these countries and its made down to a price not to a quality std, as specified by the brand name importers.
  2. Plunger pumps are generally very reliable, one thing they don't like is dirt. Be scrupulously clean on assembly. Cleanliness is next to Godliness.
  3. It's wet sumping. Every plunger oil pump ever made for any Triumph has non return valves inside on both the feed and return side. They are called balls & springs. Somebody is feeding you misinformation. I've been a Triumph mechanic for over 35 years. Buy yourself a genuine parts book & workshop manual. They are not expensive.
  4. Last sentence, +1, concur - i was warned about these too for the mono. At a third the price of the real McCoy it tells you summat....
  5. Negative photograph in a reverse mirror image?
  6. JB Weld. Repair keyway. Get flywheel to fit nicely WITHOUT the key. Use new key and fit with normal bearing fit loctite. Let it all go off. refit flywheel. Torque nut to correct spec.
  7. Paul @ CTC sells a couple of different shocks - expensive and super expensive. But you gets what you pays for.....

    BOOTS!

    +1 on Forma Boulders. Love mine.
  9. Zombie Thread Warning! Funny old world innit.... My first trials book i purchased, new was the Steve Saunders book a couple of years ago. Decent enough read. A couple of weeks ago i received 3 books i purchased from Ebay. I missed the Sammy Miller book ( i was'nt going over 30 GBP, it went for 37 quid + P&P). The new Dougie Lampkin book, new, still not finished it. Don Morley's Trials - A Riders Guide, S/H. Still not finished it, but looks interesting with good period photos. And, drum roll......., yep, Don Smith's book which i have nearly finished, S/H. Excellent read, great photos of the time, and yes, i was thinking, this is strange, i've read this before.......... somewhere..... Re, the op and this thread, i concur completely - simply outrageous. Small world. Or, funny old world, innit?
  10. God's County. Beautiful blue skies and weather. Gorgeous countryside. Marvelous motorcycles. Wish i'd been there...
  11. I have four 1984 Japanese market ty250 mono's. 2 in bits and 2 running., Nothing unusual to look out for. Except the usual rotten corroded DID rims internally. A lot of the early Japanese market bikes are road legal S versions with the steel tank. Autolube is easily removed or bypassed. Buy it before someone else does....
  12. You had a Pinky 20 years ago. Get another ty mono. Brilliant bikes.
  13. Nice video, enjoyed that, looked like the "trainees" did too.
  14. Call me a Luddite, but i think it sounds horrific, and looks awful. But then i don't even like water cooled engines, nor FI.....
  15. Ditto here, my brief period is early in the morning, prior to 8am when it really starts to get hot. Evening before it gets dark is beer o' clock.
  16. That 4 letter word beginning with S.... Oh, how i don't miss an English winter.....
  17. Not to pump. Pumps have no place on a proper trials bike used purely off road. Petroil mix only.

    BOOTS!

    +1. Forma Boulders here.
  19. Saw one on Ebay recently. Are you sitting down? Howzabout 450 quid !!!!!!!!!
  20. 1 option - buy another crank. 2 option - buy another engine or bottom end. Last option - repair what you've got. That mainshaft is a mess.
  21. Paul @ CTC in Cambs, England is selling new Z spokes and some very nice looking 32 hole rear rims. Not cheap, but quality never is.
  22. Yes, drive side, in this case the L/H side of the frame will take more stress and strain than the non drive side, in this case the R/H side of the frame.
  23. Just had a look at that ad. I concur with everybody so far - that is outrageous breaking that bike.
  24. Thanks for that. A good read, as is a lot of stuff on that site.
