Hard work made a little easier with a table lift ! I need one of those 🧐
Yes it does!
Old school bike, old school methods, real old school mechanic...
Love what you're doing Uncle Weems.. so much knowledge being given.. thank you for the great content..
Much Love..
We are stoked that you are digging it!
Loved my 1970 Custom 650 Bonneville.
Rear lowered with struts. Six inch over front end. Sportster tank. Custom seat and sissy bar. Fattest rear tire that would fit. Blown out storty glasspacks and twin Mikunis. Pullback apehangers. Red-orange paint. It was one sweet old screw.
Always tempted to take it back to stock.
Gotta love an old trumpet.
Sounds like a RAD bike!
Yay Sundays! Watching The Judge's bike come together... 🙂
Glad you are enjoying it!
Love this series. Never worked on one that old, and I am enjoying seeing the differences. The adjustment for the transmission was surprising! Thanks for taking us along the journey. Can't wait to see it running.
So glad you are digging it!
These videos are awesome. Most show the ta-da it's all done. Instead these show the trial and error, the true work that goes into the ta-da. Thank you for showing the true cost, of time, that goes into a build.
Glad you are enjoying the journey!
Good Morning Weems Motor Co!
Good Morning!
Getting soooooo close! I can almost hear it and see it run! Still waiting patiently Weems!:) Love the whole series so far! Keep wrenching and riding, and stay safe down there in wild Fla.!
We are stoked that you are enjoying it!
Never played with a triumph before. Thank you for the instructions
Get your hands dirty!!!!
Wow.. what a bike! And what a mechanic👍🤜🤛
Thanks for watching friend!
Good day All
Yes it is!
Wow thats an interesting setup to adjust the trans to tighten the primary chain...😮...
Impressive right!?!?
could watch all day with you working on Real Triumohs , beer done a pre unit primary before but know how now thank you for that , most od mine have been T140 /TR7 , with a couple of 350s and 500s thrown in , loved yje little Tiger 21 i had
All old Triumph's are cool in my book!!!
Great video! Triumph actually has the spacer you made out of your old stator and it is part # 70-3384. As you know your 1950's bike would have come with the large cush drive spring/sprocket on the engine and a non cush drive clutch. Pre units were great at allowing mix and match possibilities. Cheers dano........
You know it! The chassis and gearbox are all 1950. The engine is 1959
danielowen7845.... Would like to know how you sourced that spacer# for Weeks? I owned a '68T100C that I chopped back in 1970. Sold it to help buy a new '78 T140E Bonny. It's in a few big pieces. Turned head into no-lead, new guides,springs,hardened valve seats and stainless valves. Gotta get it running before I turn 74!!
Parts book and old man knowledge of preunit Triumphs...@@mikeashcraft4354
A 428 chain was the type used on my first little Honda CM- 185 Twin Star.
YUP!
Well explain3d, remembers me when we did the engine and gearbeitet on my rigid 53. I changed the setup to a Belt inside the Primarstufe for easier maintanance and to reduce the oilleakage. ❤
Right on!
another great episode...missed you at the congregation.....
We were over in Birmingham at Barber Motorsports Park!
Your knowledge is fun to watch... :-)
I appreciate that!
Thanks for all the awesome videos :)) your channel has been really helpful since I’ve been in trade school learning motorcycle mechanics the past year :) can’t wait til I can turn wrenches like you!!!
Glad to help! Let me know if ya need any help!
Great content as always Weems. I like that Tele tattoo.
Great Eye! It is the Patent for the 1957 Telecaster!
Very cool man.

Seen a few old Triumphs for sale on Marketplace here in Georgia. Would Love to have one, No One in the Bunch I ride with has one or Knows about em. Fonzie Had One so I can have one... Peace Brother
Me too….because of McQueen. 😊
Get yourself one!
Steve was the man!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Fritz!
Nice. Make it look easy but I know it's not. Great series
Practice makes perfect right!?
@@weemsmotorco doing any shows at Biketoberfest?
I had forgotten about the transmission adjustment setup on the pre units. I'm getting old.
Glad we could remind you!
The top end was farmed out. Quite right too. Old wiring but installing a battery, 'they didn't use gaskets in the fifties' 'We're going for reliability' Condradiction central. Looks like the Gearbox had to be pulled back a long way! Any adjustment left for the future??
Brooks you are all over it! Yes there is more than enough adjustment left as I had it originally screwed all the way toward the front. As for the Gaskets it is true on those portions of the engine and gearbox!
What does the manual say about the pressure plate allowable tolerance for being trued?
No tolerance listed. It just says it should spin true. I guess it depended on how good of an eye ball the assembler had and if his glasses prescription was good to go! ....LOL!
WEEMS! /,,/
What's UP!!!!!
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Peace!

I really have been enjoying this series. Should I use 20w-50 on an older air cooled motorcycle like a 1980 Honda cm400t
Refer to your manual #1. #2 it depends on riding conditions also!

Thanks! and YES!!!
Have you ever installed one of those fancy BNR belt drives on a pre-unit?
On a Unit but not Preunit.
IF you ever do one on a pre unit please post a video@@weemsmotorco
Good "how to" video.
Glad you liked it
mm, primary oil is for the chain not for the clutch plates.
Yup!
Can I bring my 73 XLCH down and we can rebuild the engine and put in a new clutch????
....Nope, I know zilch about Harley's. But I can refer you to some friends!
Yikes!
Cool Right!?
you know it better than anyone man. no seriously, you know it lol.@@weemsmotorco
You sure know your way around a triumph.what do you think about their cars? I think they made cars.
They did make cars.. the Triumph Spitfire was my favourite..
I had a tr7 when I was stationed in Australia in the air Force
@@juliancrooks3031 I had one too.. when i was about 8 or 9 years old.. 🤣😂 a genuine matchbox toys one..
Wow, I envy you brother.. to own a car like that must have been cool.. sadly I sense you do not have it any more?
At least some of them had wooden dashboards and steering wheels. Pretty cool!
@@dietrichess9997 that was the style back then.. I can remember my dads Alfa Romeo had a wooden steering wheel, dashboard panel and gear knob..
I loved the tr7 but never saw one in South Africa..
Mate; you have the facts pretty wrong; for example: the primary oil in the older pre units is SAE20; not 20w50; oil is for the chain not for the clutch; clutch should be dry (you understand what the plates do?); even more without the corks inserts (seems you have a newer clutch and no spring shock absorber, but the newer drum with the rubbers are you sure?)
You also need to take more care of your connecting rods (as seen in the last part of the previous video and in this one that are rubbing to the edge of the cases bores--aluminum fatigue is something that is not possible to know exactly--)
You are all over it! Great Eye!
I can tell you what was inside that magnetised rota, wait for it...real metal from before the days on everything being built with cheap recycled metals from China.
I dunno...It was super weird!!! It was something at the base of each magnet.
