sprtz1 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 It has been a while but it's back to Triumph. Retirement is looming and what to do SO trying to daily the triumphs as a new adventure. Last month the 1300 got a new distibution chain a tensioner and a seal to get rid of a nasty rattle and the horrible oil leak (didnt work) Today while returning from work an almighty bang under the bonnet, an investigation revealed that the dynamo pully has broken up........... so I drove the remaining few KM's home rattling and all......... a spare one was installed quickly (metal pully) Question, anyone else had this happen? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 That was an original “starburst” Bakelite pulley, quite rare, quite fragile! I did not think they were fitted to cars as late as yours so probably not original. metal pulley much more reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprtz1 Posted September 24, 2023 Author Share Posted September 24, 2023 Took the starter gear and cover off again, still trying to find the rattle coming from somewhere out front.... no play in the crankshaft engine is running perfect at speed with good oil pressure but when on low idle a clatter from the front, and no it does it also without the waterpump and the generator attached... puzzling anyway took the vitesse 6 to a local meeting to chear me up, it starts up and runs perfect (as always) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
