Hi pushur :-) I have to agree with mrstupid on this one and I have always routed the wires over the chain my reasoning being where the slack of a slack chain ends up, and in the case of the primary the slack is at the bottom. On acceleration the motor pulls the chain tight at the top and when decelerating the clutch pulls the chain also at the top, so the chain is nearly always tight there. On the other hand when the motor is not under load the chain tends to flop about top and bottom
Why did you put silicone around the stator wire? I haven't seen that done before. Does it leak oil from that hole? (Normally there's a lock washer on that rotor nut. )
Thank you for posting videos, lunmad! I got my 1964 tr6 usa running. It idles at 800rpm, but when i blip the throttle about a 32th of an inch it hovers at high idle. Ive locked the timing advance mechanism just to see if that's it, but no. I used soapy water but cant find leaks. I timed it right and have synched the carbs. Leaking slides on m' carbs maybe? these are concentric amals. I would appreciate your input on the matter.
Yes,i have seen that on a T120,however,the route of Johns,and the silicone will hold it up high enough.Mines been over the chain for 41 years now and still ok.I can see the point of running it under as long as the wires are secured though.Have a look at my T120r videos on my channel,best one is speedy 006 on someone elses channel but its me and my bike
Yes, but what the manual doesn't account for is as the Chain tension starts to loosen it may start to rub the wires I speak from experience and will always route and secure them under the chain
Great stuff mate only watched part 2 so far

Hi
What alternator did you use?
Got a '71 TR6
Yey! Part 4!!
Factory manual puts the wires over the chain.Like wot John did
Yes, but what the manual doesn't account for is as the Chain tension starts to loosen it may start to rub the wires

Hi Crofty :-) tiz done.
more to come, though this post is late and they are all up now!! :-D
Hi Lunmad, is there not a tab washer for the alternator nut?
Hi Karl :-)
yes the alternator should have a tab washer mine knacked a long time ago, I should fit one really (my bad)
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo put the wires UNDER the chain
