Running on 2

[Bixxer Bob]

You just reminded me, the injector body (to head) gasket is a known problem on all Triumphs that use this engine.   It's an easy fix and cheap too (about £7) just watch for the usual, don't drop any gasket crap into the intakes etc and the torx screws are quite soft so be careful not to round one out.  SS allen bolts are a good swap. I did a post in the "how to" section on it a while back.  Here it is if you need it:

At risk of repeating myself.....

It took 10 years and 53,000 miles for it to fail though!
That's my excuse.

Time to follow your guide and get her on the road again.  :lol:

Hopefully this is the final update and I can put this problem to bed...... yes it was the inlet manifold gasket leaking, but this wasn't the only fault!
It was still not running properly after fitting the new gasket. So in desperation a non-mechanic mate said have you swapped the coils and spark plugs? Maybe they are failing under load or shorting somewhere before the spark plug.
Already been there and done that  but as I was at a total loss I got out the sockets and removed 2 coils. Well bugger me if one of them now had a dirty great crack in it! I swapped them over and started her up to find that the non-firing cylinder was now no.2 and there was arching around the coil top.

So I now have a new coil.....£90 !!!!!
Tomorrow I find out if it all works again.

She's ALIVE!!!!!  :lol:

Now doing the airbox baffle removal, upgrading the idle control pipes and I can get her back on the road.

Tigger is back on the road.
I did the airbox mod using a small blowtorch to melt the plastic until I could pull the entire baffle bulkhead out.

I can't say I notice a difference in performance but the overall noise of the engine is a bit more throaty.

I shall start on blowing a new firmware/tune into the ECU later this week hopefully.  :D  :D
