The problem first started about 6 months ago, but very intermittently.
When starting the bike up from cold it would sometimes only fire on one cylinder. After opening the throttle a little the other cylinder would fire and all would be well.
This has happened about 4 times over a 6 months period, I suspected it was a fuel problem as it usually only happened after the bike had not been run for a week or so.
I went to start the bike last night after it had been parked for 5 days and it would only fire on the left cylinder. (I know it shouldn’t be parked for that long without being ridden but I had other things to do).
I checked for fuel, OK.
Swapped plug leads, still would not fire on the right cylinder. Using a spare plug. Sparked OK on left cylinder.
Swapped the coils, still not firing on the right cylinder.
Using a spare plug. Sparked OK on left cylinder.
Is there anyway of checking the igniter, or is it a case of swopping it for a known good one and seeing what you get?
Used Triumph spares in Australia are like rocking horse s**t, and a new igniter is about a A$1000.
All help will be appreciated.
