Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech need Help .....mysterious Problem

Hi all
My TBA goes starting and drive on with strong rain always out after short time (3-4min.)… it sounds oneself, as if she would not get Sprit! This phenomenon was already once present, then the gasoline cock changed, up to now was no longer present it! Are grateful for each tip

Whoa, serious language barrier to answering this post.

If I read it right, it sounds like you're having trouble with the bike stalling in the rain. Not sure I understand what you're saying about the petcock though.

For the rain problem, usually the answer is using dielectric grease(dielektrisches Fett in German according to Babelfish). Apply this to electrical connections that might be exposed to water.

Sounds like he suspects fuel. Didn't someone recently have stopped-up tank vent line in rain? Good use of the word "phenomenom", BTW.
Edit- Stalls in rain thread

Hi all
again here the translation with Babelfish.
I'm drivin in strong Rain .suddenly my TBA goes out.it sounds oneself, as if she would not get gas.after 3-4 min. start- then runs her again. My dealer did not have the problem ever.he mark it the gasoline cock changed -the Problem to before a few days again did not emerge. The electrical connection I already checked, was however drying.

@lonzo
this link sounds the same problem as my's,but i dont think the problem is the Kickstand-switch...
PETER

Carefully check the spark (zund) system. Make sure all connections are tight and coated with special electrical grease.
This will act much like fuel (benzin) problems. The rain will go under the benzin tank while you are riding and the motor will halt. When you are stopped, rain will not get under the tank and heat from the motor will dry it all out so the bike will go again for a little while.

sounds like your gas vent tube is clogging up with water and causing a momentary "lock" in the fule delivery...check the vent line under the bike and then look into a vented gas cap.

thanks to all answers ......i'll try these

News from Mörstadt:
today of the dealer get message,which I am to bring the Bonni past…I in demand: and how am I to come home? And to the work?One week run? Nene, either ne replacement or you fetches the part and brings me oWne others,until my part runs again reliably! War I of triumph D does not pay and/or replaces. You must pay that… Ok one,then I must endeavor mine lawyer for transformation of the contract…
Tja,Persistence disbursed itself in my case and I gets by the dealer ne speed masters to my again in order is made available!

greeting
PETER

when i get hot news ,i let you know.
(translation with world lingo )

In other words, your threat of legal action has forced Triumph to do what they probably should have done in the first place, which is fix your ride free of charge, in as timely a fashion as possible.

Hope things work out for you!

Here's what I cut off. It fixed the prob.

So ,now I get my TBA back,
on the speedmaster of the dealer I occurred myself like a “annoying insect” -
was implemented: complete electrical connection,Wiring harness renews,everything sealed,special fats attached - and last but not least the tank hose differently shifted.Whether that excludes finally the recovery of the original problem,I cannot judge as a layman.I hope,now to have no problems with rain travels
