tr10 running -- sort of

[philman]

i had my 948 cc triumph engine in the tr10 running today. the fuel pump isn't pumping fuel and the heater return pipe has several pinhole leaks. but, it sounded good while it ran. it wasn't too difficult to start considering it hasn't been on the road since 1969, and was last started several years ago. now i have to locate a source for 948 engine parts.

It runs....GREAT! Perhaps the fuel pump is just incredibly clogged up after years of idleness? Some 948 bits are pretty scarce, but they can be found. Oddly enough, eBay often is a good source of NOS bits, if you're patient enough!

What are you going to do with all that power once you get it running correctly? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazyeyes.gif

Congrats...sounds like fun.
