HELLO TBANGA; I HAD RODE MY BIKE ABOUT THREE MILES AND IT STARTED STARVING FOR GAS IT FELT LIKE. I EVEN DRAINED ALL THE GAS FROM TANK AND CARBS, NEW PLUGS, WE CHECKED EVERYTHING WE KNEW TO CHECK. I HAD TWO MOTORCYCLE MECHANICS CHECK IT OUT. THEY BOTH FELT IT WAS THE COILS. REMOVE YOUR PLUG AND LAY IT AGAINST MOTOR AND TRY TO START BIKE. I HAD VERY LITTLE FIRE, REAL WEAK. ALSO WHEN BIKE STARTED UP IT WOULD RUN BUT WHEN I APPLIED GAS THROTTLE IT WOULD DIE. I WOULD THEN CRANK BACK BUT WHEN I APPLIED GAS AGAIN IT WOULD DIE. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH COILS ON THE OLD WEB. ONE GUY HAD TO HAVE BOTH COILS REPLACED ON A 04 BONV. AMER. AN HE HAD ONLY HAD IT FOR A FEW WEEKS. I WOULD SUGGEST STRONGLY THAT YOU GET YOUR BIKE TO A TRIUMPH DEALER. IT COULD EASY BE YOUR COIL OR COILS TOO. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT A BAD COIL WILL CREATE DIFFERENT PROBLEMS. I HOPE TRIUMPH CORRECTS THIS PROBLEM. HOPE I HAVE BEEN SOME HELP !!!!!
