RE: [ST] Fuel regulator whine

["Rich Crinson" <rich@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

At one point TOA was supposed to have the killer
cure forthcoming, but I never heard that anything has worked so
far.  Anyone elsh have any info?


[1]  Replacing fuel pump, filter, regulator . . .

Windy Corner confirmed it is the regulator that causes the problems,
however, the problem is that Triumph have not rebuilt the part or re-spec'd
it so all the dealer can do is keep replacing it until one cures it.  Not
the ideal solution, it seems that some of Triumphs initial designs are a bit
way ward as in the centrifugal oil filter in the left hand side of the
crankcase, which has now been redesigned to cure a small oil leak.  Maybe
eventually they will sort out the reg with a slightly better design to stop
the howling.  After spending a few years on Jap crap though (IMHO) I will
stick by Triumph every inch of the way and put up with 'the howler' (The
bike) the Triples are by far and away the best engines I have had the chance
to use, of course only when fitted to a Black frame and Black bike though!!
