1969 Triumph T120 Bonneville 1st Startup After Blown Out Spark Plug Head Repairs
Finalizing this very fun (and educational) project. I love these old vintage British bikes. Working on this one has motivated me to get my 1958 Norton Nomad put back together, and running again, after 40 years of having been disassembled.

FINALLY we have weather here in North Alabama conducive to painting a car. Lower than usual temps, very low humidity. I didn't think we'd get this until mid to late September in this area! 2 coats of SpeedKote epoxy sealer primer. I'm sure I made mistakes, I usually do. But after sanding the entirety of the car, that had been stripped, with 150 and 180 grit 3M Cubitron disc, on my DA sander, I ...

Have you used this type of valve spring compressor ?? Have you had problems with it wandering off center, where you can't install the keepers? Or worse, having it slip off your valve springs and shoot the keepers and springs out into your neighbor's yard ?? Try this and see if it works for you. It did for me.

Testing the air demand from a Harbor Freight Black Widow HVLP spray gun, I want to find out if my 30 year old Craftsman 6 HP, 33 Gallon Oilless compressor is up to the task of painting a car. Several folks said it can't do it. Well, my testing shows otherwise. The compressor has just been rebuilt, with new cylinder and piston with ring, plus reed valves removed and cleaned.

1989 Toronado Dash Wiring Nightmare Fuse Box Addendum
Great simple fix,,,,,gotta luv that.. I could actually use one of these tools,, I'm using all the wrong stuff from automotive and even an old ford flat head compressor. I do have one hand operated that I modified.
My spring is broken. Anyone know where I can order a kit to include the spring & ball? Can’t locate anything online
Good job JohnnieBravo1. I rode & built 650 Triumphs for years in the late 80's into the late 90's. "They make fine mechanics out of ordinary men." I had a spark plug blow out on me once while riding down the road. I pulled the head & heli-coiled it. Those exhaust spickots always stripped out on me. I think the best way to prevent it (if you can) is make sure your pipes are secured really good. I used to just hose clamp drag pipes to the bottom of the frame. I knew better, but I was young & didn't give a shit. One time I drilled a couple of small holes in the fins & secured them with a couple of springs like a dirt bike. I had hoards of parts at the time & just did every thing I could to keep them running. By the way, Dale Sweger's channel sent me here. I think we're both impressed by your work.
Hey Todd. Thank you so much for stopping in! Dale is The Motorcycle Engine Whisperer, isn't he? I have a 58 Norton Nomad, my Uncle gave me back in 1971, and that began my engine mechanicing edumacation. Being able to rebuild an engine was a requirement for owning and riding British bikes. Seems like I had to spend about 2 months working on it for every 5 minutes I got to ride it. Plus needing a chase car to pick up all the parts that vibrated off it. I still have that bike, and am planning on putting it all back together.
Hello! I'm currently chasing an electrical issue in my 89 on the power seat/power door lock circuit. I'm fairly certain I have a similar issue that you had here, but I can't get the stupid fuse block out. How did you pop it out of the dash, was there a trick to it? Thanks!
Hey Michael; getting that thing out will lead you to yell lots of bad words, and possibly to drinking. Some of the wires going to the back side of it were very tight, but I pulled them "just" hard enough to not pull them out.. On mine, the glove box and all plastic surrounds were removed. I'm going from memory here (dangerous at best), is the fuse block has two catch tabs, one on each side, that have to be popped out. I think I had to try to press the sides of the fuse block inwards to relieve pressure on the tabs, and it comes out towards the front. I'd go look at mine for you to be sure, but it's all papered and plastic'ed up for paint prep, and I can't get to the inside of it right now. In fact today I'm in the middle of sanding and body work. If you need a simplified explanation of what all that fuse goes to, take a look at Bravo School video. I apologize up front for lousy lighting and sound, but I think it should make that circuit more clear.
you have given me inspiration to get my t140 working.. it is currently in bits in a filing cabinet.. my father striped it down about 25 years ago.. and i inherited it 20 years ago.. great work..!!
Ive never gotten any torque out of dc treadmill motors. Used all the way up to 3hp rated treadmill motors with various speed controllers and pulleys and flywheels.. either it will take forever to get up to the slower speed with a big weighted flywheel or itd just bind up and stop the motor at lower speeds. If i used a bunch of gearing it might work but having to align all that on any kind of budget just kills the project for me.. tried bandsaws and drill presses but both require lower speeds for metals and its just too much to get the torque out of em..
Awesome brother, the Triumph lives.
Yessir! Thank you Dale for following. Responses (admittedly "early" responses) were that the power seemed way back up, after closing up that massive compression leak around the faulty spark plug. Both cylinders contributing now, vs one lagging. We are doing a nice scenic ride on Saturday through Paint Rock Valley, so's wish us good luck!
nice old school repair,, kewl compressor tool too!
Nizeeee Catchin up on the series
Absolutely awesome work there. 👍
Glad you got low humidity so you can get the car primed up Johnny bravo
Also paper scrap works too ! Thank you
Glad you are doing something to get that problem fixed and doing better Johnny bravo 👍👍
And that's why a loaf of Bread invented the airplane because we all know necessity is the mother of invention hopefully I don't need to explain the joke. Nice idea.,
Nice work sir
Like putting a puzzle together and making a work of art.. can't wait to see the thing done and purring
Nice work buddy, those Triumph motors are beautiful. Be watching for your install. Too hot here for the shop. Waiting for the cool down next week to the 70s. Just awesome.
Liking your work Johnnie, got a two stroke head I need to do this to. Hole too large for a helicoil. Enjoyed your show. Going to watch part 2 now.
Thank you Dale! That's high praise coming from you Sir. YOU are the master when it comes to stuff like this. I have learned so much from watching you and your channel (even though you're WAY younger than me ;-) )
Can't wait to see it put on the engine on that classic motor cycle
Glad you had a spare head to use if the first one didn't work out
Hey Robert; yes, it is good insurance. I didn't know if I could repair this head or not, as this is the first time I've tried this procedure. However, I'm cautiously optimistic. The vid of the final repair of this old head will be out either tonight, or possibly tomorrow.
@@JohnnieBravo1 I'll be waiting for it Johnny bravo 👍👍
Triumph the shape of things to come back in the day when they made car's the fog light is a great idea to been seen by on coming vehicles
do you still have the Tomberlin pit bike, they are so hard to find
Hello, and yes we still have it. It belongs to my daughter. I'm considering making it "let's get it running" project soon. It has been stored in a protected place.
@@JohnnieBravo1 can't wait to see it
Oh Dang ! That’s some quick growth . 😮
Was more difficult to install motor than remove it
Nice looking dust collection system to get the dust out of the Way
It works reasonably well Robert. Likely not as well as a high dollar dust extraction system like Paint Society uses, but the vac has a HEPA bag, plus a HEPA canister filter over the motor, and it has "ok" suction at the sander. It's a small vac, but I don't think I need a big one for this setup. After all, I have no clue what I'm doing, but trying to do it to the best of my ability after going to RUclips school.
@@JohnnieBravo1 RUclips school 🏫 lol Johnny bravo 👍😎👏
noice!
Thanks for sharing your hack for the paper towel I tried it and it really works 👍👍
Jonnie: I want one of those TROFEO' T- Shirts!
Hey Miles: Thank you for stopping by my little RUclips site! I had just a handful of these shirts made up special, one for each of my family, plus one for Jon Morlan ( @331letmein , who has been the cornerstone of my getting the electronics back in working order on this car). If folks would like one, the company I sent the design to for their making still has the design. They indicated they would make more if folks wanted one. If a few people respond, I think I can get more made. I can check into it when they get back from their vacation, which I think is sometime early July.
@@JohnnieBravo1 Okay, please do. Thank you Sir
@@MilesHoffmann they are back. I can connect you with them, and they can use the artwork I provided to them to make them for you. I'm happy to let them use my design.
GOOD Job Jonnie!
That is looking good Johnny bravo
Hopefully it will work out for you to paint the car
Loved your whole series!! Thank you!
That was a lot of sanding hopefully you wore a mask while you are doing that paint removal Johnny bravo
Yessir, I have respirators for this type of stuff.. I did enough damage to my lungs when I was young, so I'm trying to make up for it in my old age.
@@JohnnieBravo1 glad you got some masks for your help with keeping the dust out of your lungs 🫁
I just happened to stumble upon this video on RUclips tonight. A stunning tribute. T.J. was a great human being and this was very well done. I still think of him often.
Sorry for the loss of your friend 🙏🙏
You are a loving and loyal friend.
Is this JUST a paint rebuild?
I ROLL mine on, get a better coat also
FYI: The original paint was SHOCKED on , thus the more of the original paint you can leave on the better because it's finish, base is farther superior to ANY coating you can put on today
WARNING: If you are planning on tearing down the differential & chain case & rebuilding do NOT use Jacksons instructions because he treats ALL Snapper differentials & chain cases the same & SOME of his videos about these issues will actually cause you issues in rebuilding and reliability of the parts if followed
A stuck ball bearing the first port of call after all the obvious first try and sees.
That compressor isnt worth the money ro fix it. They were like 99 bucks brand new. Mine lasted like 15yrsbefore it would labor to pump up. Take a trip to harbor freight and get an updated one
That is a lot of sanding to do but like you said you are working at your on pace Johnny bravo 👍😎
14:25 I'll say this. You tightened the crankshaft/counter weight pinch bolt... But you assumed the rod bearing pinch bolt was tight from the factory.... We all know about assumptions... I'll add one more lessons learned moment. You struggled to identify the head orientation every time. In the future give yourself a witness mark. Could be as simple as a line down the side with a sharpie, or paint pen, or a scratch with a screw driver, dimples with punch. Add the witness mark before disassembly. I constantly leave myself bread crumbs so I can get out of my self created situations.
Hey Failure: Thank you for visiting my little channel. Yeah, I should have put witness marks in so I didn't have to figure it out, after doing it backwards. But seeing how the reed valves work, it made sense after I did it backwards. On the rod pinch bolt, this new rod did not have one. Different design, where the bearing is pressed into the rod. I think that must be why there was a block of metal cast into the rod near the piston, so it would weigh the same as the old rod with the pinch bolt bosses, and equal the counterbalance.
Well... There is no such thing as a free education. That is a bummer.
Pretty sure I have the same compressor in much better shape. Zero chance I would try to paint a vehicle with it unless I had over 100 gallons of capacity. Running out of air in the middle of a panel is just not worth my time. Not to mention if you can't maintain consistent air your metalic will lay down different. As for videos... Meh do your thing. You will evolve as will the viewers.
Glad ya didn't get hurt! I often say,,,"Check Fa Tight"!
I've had the same unit for 25 years. Only thing is the loud noise will wake up my house when it kicks in at 3am! It's in my basement below the main floor of my house. Looking for a nice vertical 60 gallon Oiled compressor.
Hey Ken; I have a larger 5hp 60 gal oiled compressor in my other shop, Charge Air by DeVilbis. It is remarkably quieter, with more cfm. I do not have an air cooler/dryer on it, yet, but that's on my bucket list. Water vapor coming out of it right now makes it unusable for paint, but good for power tools if I keep them oiled up. I'm seriously considering installing a condenser to get that water vapor issue under control.
If I were working in the basement I'd build an outdoor compressor shack and plumb a pex line into the basement. Quincey makes some quiet compressors. All about reducing the pump RPM. 240v is the way to go. I don't know how many RPM these Craftsman machines run... but it's all of them.
Nice! Give the whole thing a wash down with some superclean!
Hahaha! Next video Arch! Looks like I'm doing an extended series on this thing already, so one more makes it morer betterer.
Back in the day, people used to ask,,,how tight do I make it,,,?? We would say, "until just before it gets loose again" lol
@@TheNovaJohn HAhaha! The trick, or experience is, where does it go just before it gets loose again ?? Been there many times. (that's why I have a LARGE selection of helicoils)
Highly discourage Superclean on raw aluminum. Sodium hydroxide converts aluminum into sodium aluminate. Same applies to Purple Power, and especially Zep Industrial Purple Degreaser. You know the reaction is occurring if the part starts off gassing (hydrogen). The surface will have a dull grey appearance after exposure. It is an exothermic reaction so it is possible to achieve burn level temperatures if a person leaves an aluminum component soaking.
Dang it is working now so cool Johnny bravo
Hey Robert. Yessir, it's working perfectly. One more video to finish and upload, on that DIY air cooler/dryer thingy testing.
@@JohnnieBravo1 okay I will be waiting for the video on this matter of fliter dryer
