So it's been months and months now, I've striped of weight, made parts bigger, done everything people have suggested, tried new approach and still this old Triumph just won't run for more that 20 minutes before it cuts out. Just going to give it up as a bad thing. So sad to see something so beautiful go to waste |

Dunno. I checked out his cock & think it's a Triumph Stag. Lol! |

"It's an online 1966 triumph T140 bonneville triton 650, it's going to be my first fail rebuild I'm gutted  "
If you've used parts for a T140 that could be the problem as they were later and were 750cc |

may be something simple as its getting upto temperature,
check the fuel line route's not getting to warm and causing evaporation.
faulty spark plug failing at temperature? |

Iv tried everything been rebuilt 4 times more new than old parts, it fires up sweet runs and sounds like a dream for 20 minutes or so then just stops, tried different makes and size plugs, even mmodified a rocket radiator to see if it was over heat and still the same |

Radiator was just basic running cool water just to keep air temperature down, not that's interesting tho log book has t140 triton and 650 cc wonder if guy before me has swaped engine may have to try and find out |

Something is not right there.
T140 - mid 70s 750 cc
T120 - 60s 650 cc
Triton = Triumph engine in a Norton frame
All aircooled from that era |

I've no idea what's up with it, if you've stripped and rebuilt it then you probably know more than any of us but thought it was a good opportunity to show off my old thunder cat |

Bit of a long shot but, is the fuel tank breather clear?
I once had an Escort that would run for a similar amount of time then just stop. After days of checking, swapping & swearing, I found that if I opened the fuel cap, there was a huge suction of air into the tank. After this & if you left the fuel cap off, it would run no problem. Checked breather hose & bingo! Pipe collapsed & not doing its job.
Its worth a try fella! Good luck with it. |
