You didn't state if your engine always had this condition or if it just happened after the engine rebuild.



It has only happened since the rebuild.
A brief history. I bought the bike, new, in Spain and didn't even need choke for the first 18 months/2 years. The airbox blew up just before the warranty ran out and Triumph repaired it for me. I've always had it serviced, at a Triumph dealer until the warranty ran out then with a mate who had his own business. Last year, about March/April time the starter gear broke and I couldnt afford to fix it so I got onto Triumph (had a go about the bike being just out of warranty and shouldn't be breaking like this etc). They said if I could get it back to the UK they'd take a look at it. So I got a guy to bring it back in a van, Triumph looked at it and fixed it for nothing. Since then, in the cold, it has trouble starting and when it starts there is no power when you twist the throttle, it goes kinda flat, until it warms up a bit. I have trouble with it cutting out in the wet too. Even in Spain, if it rained, it would cough and splutter. Triumphed looked into that but couldn't find anything. Every electrical connection I can find is now covered in grease and, fingers crossed, it hasn't happened for a while.
Right, I think thats about it. Sorry to waffle and thanks for all the advice so far.
