If you use a running start and drop the decompression lever,don't get your nuts caught up in the springs on the seat as you jump on when it starts and takes off, my brother learned this the hard way!!

[@crashburnfly]

Hi Max - good to hear from you and yes a running jump start is an acquired skill!

These old guys are cool. They tire out on the pedals and take turns..not giving up, reminds me when I was a kid, my dad was kickin and kickin his old Indian for ever it seemed. Just wouldn't start. My grandpa said to me, want to see a Harley start? He turned the key and told me to push the button, Harley fired right up. My dad didn't say a word, but if looks could kill. Love the old bikes...

What a joy man. In 1911 that machine was a spectacle. Imagine riding into a little town on that state-of-the-art bike. Pulling up to a pub, and inventing a biker chick. Iron American Dream on KZbin Share it. 35 motorcycles later I'm still in love. Ride on.

The moment the engine comes to life is like a piece of history revived.

It is indeed - the same noise heard by its riders in before and during World War 1 - It goes well now and I have ridden 160+ miles in a day on it.

Thanks for your comments and good natured humour. In 100 years time this fine machine will still be running and the machines of today that require digital scanners will have been recycled into electric toothbrushes. The Triumph does however have an advanced multi media diagnosis system... if you can smell petrol then its got a stuck float, if you cannot then its run out....

I think there was a fuel supply problem there on that machine. Perhaps a blocked jet or a jammed needle valve in the float bowl of the carburettor.

I believe they should pull out the PC, connect the OBDII, and check that ECU and injector... Just kidding. LOL :-) +1 on the jet/bowl bet. Awesome machine, lovely old lady. Wish I had one. ;-)

[@TheCominghome]

what an effort, I'm warn out watching!

[@georgegrimes6917]

Obviously they were using Lucas "prince of darkness" lighting and electrical parts back in the day. I have an aerosol can of liquid smoke left over if anyone will pay shipping. It has original MG label and parts number. Older engines were relatively low compression and need lowest possible octane number available. 95 octane doesn't have a slow enough flame propagation rate at combustion. Some things were designed to run on kerosene as an alternative fuel. The trick is to gradually turn off the choke over several minutes whenever the RPM seems to be coming up. Exhaust valve/seat leakage were a problem back in the day. Harley built some with the intake overhead of the flathead exhaust valve. Sort of early charge cooling. Very effective on durability and power output. Indian complaints to sanctioning organizations prevented them from racing it after one year. Sort of like what happened to the Chrysler hemi in NASCAR.

It does have a choke and a fuel blockage was the issue. A horse requires considerable care and maintenance!
