- 1970 Triumph Bonneville 650 T120
Hi guys, I bought a 1970 Bonneville 650 T120 just over a year ago and was having minor starting issues. The odd day after kicking it over and over it wouldn't fire, then surprisingly the next day it would start after about 6 kicks (super inconsistent) which is good for my bike. But towards the end of the year it was getting worse. I did a compression test and had ample amounts, plugs were fine and still wouldnt go. I thought it was a ignition issue but I ran it down a small hill numerous times even in 2nd and still it wouldnt go. Any reason this could be? there are probably many factors I assume but I thought it could be a carburatore issue. I cleaned them at the beginning of the riding year as soon as I bought the bike. Maybe their due for another check up?
Apologies in advance, im new to the vintage motorcycles, i'm learning quickly.
