Triumph Tiger Cub primary drive side of engine and attention discussed.

As already seen, we had the crankshaft oil seal facing the wrong way, while the mainshaft seal behind the clutch was completely absent! Also, on reassembly, it turned out all three clutch springs were of different lengths and types, which wouldn't have done much for the clutch. With all of these faults attended to, it is hoped that the oil in the primary case might stay in there and maybe the clutch might not slip anymore. I also fitted the new spark plug, in case it had anything to do with that occasional misfire.

Good morning Paul, Great upload from the Master Mechanic! Please don't forget my Enfield, hopefully soon. Warm regards, Gary

Quite surprised this small bike has a double row primary chain. Thanks for a video.

Looking good Paul, a few things sorted there, look forward to seeing the little Cub on a test run, cheers Dave

Very good. Thanks.

It just goes to prove that you should never throw away any old parts. Its easy to say that they might come in handy some day but it does actually happen.

No grease nipple on subframe bolt on end of swinging arm.

[@paulhenshaw4514]

Not all of them had that - my Trials Cub replica has one at the centre of the swingarm spindle boss in the frame.

[@neilmcintosh1200]

I have seen some bikes with both. Possibly C15 when I think about it.@@paulhenshaw4514

Who on earth wouldn’t notice those three springs? Bit of a joke really. But on a par with fitting oil seals the wrong way round and other horrors.
