Clutch and Primary Install on this 1950 triumph 

Hard work made a little easier with a table lift ! I need one of those 🧐

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.

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.

Yay Sundays! Watching The Judge's bike come together... 🙂

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..

Good Morning Weems Motor Co!

Never played with a triumph before. Thank you for the instructions

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.!

Wow.. what a bike! And what a mechanic👍🤜🤛

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.

Good day All

Wow thats an interesting setup to adjust the trans to tighten the primary chain...😮...

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

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........

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. ❤

another great episode...missed you at the congregation.....

A 428 chain was the type used on my first little Honda CM- 185 Twin Star.

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!!!

Your knowledge is fun to watch... :-)

Great content as always Weems. I like that Tele tattoo.

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

Nice. Make it look easy but I know it's not. Great series

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I had forgotten about the transmission adjustment setup on the pre units. I'm getting old.

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??

What does the manual say about the pressure plate allowable tolerance for being trued?

I really have been enjoying this series. Should I use 20w-50 on an older air cooled motorcycle like a 1980 Honda cm400t

WEEMS! /,,/

Have you ever installed one of those fancy BNR belt drives on a pre-unit?

🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

mm, primary oil is for the chain not for the clutch plates.

Good "how to" video.

Can I bring my 73 XLCH down and we can rebuild the engine and put in a new clutch????

You sure know your way around a triumph.what do you think about their cars? I think they made cars.

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--)

Yikes!

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.
