It's on a parralel shaft Paul have to get a later model catalogs showing a exploded view maybe I,m missing a spacer or washer or something

Is the rotor fouling the inner case??

This has been bugging me a bit today because I cant remember how that all attaches on a pre unit - sorry its been a long time and most of my pre units were generator equipped.

I see yours has an adaptor ring - pretty sure that's standard on a pre-unit. The unit motors use a sort of waisted stud arrangement which is a lot better. However just looking at the picture your rotor is definitely NOT central inside the stator and that's a problem so best address that first. I think you can adjust it by loosening the ring and re tightening and if that's not enough - remove it and rotate the ring 1 fixing hole and try again.

Attached is a 64 crank diagram and you can see the spacers I was talking about. Not sure if this applied to yours.

Here's my one from about '73/'74. A wideline with a '61 T110 engine...and as usual for the time, nothing was as intended...all later model stuff in there. I later converted it to duplex primary...and there were a few issues. That's not a pre unit alt, although I don't know if there was any difference. As Paul says, the crank should be located by the timing side ball, and the stator puts no load on anything.

Edit - I notice in the later pic I've fitted a later model rear wheel, a 9 stud head, and that's an HS2 SU carb.

Cheers for that Paul I seem to be missing part# 21 , and# 24 hope British spares have them in stock.

Thats cool Motu always keen to see pics of Kiwi Tritons I think everyone needs to build a "special" once in their life my next one is going to be a bit easier I want to build a replica XR750 HD flat tracker.

With two front cylinder heads and dual Mikunis?

Plus two huge K&N's

#21 can easily be machined up in mild steel. Loctite has largely made #24 redundant....

Best to get a diagram from a preunit to see how it fits together. That's from 64 so it might be different.

Pretty sure there should be a spacer there that's suitable to the seal on that side. ie the drive side oil seal runs on the spacer!! You might have a mix of parts... The sprocket butts onto the spacer and the rotor pulls the whole thing tight.

Lol still nice wagons though .

The Triumph that had to be sacrificed to make a triton because it had the right front end right motor wrong gearbox and right rims, not all was lost as we had a T100 motor that slotted straight into the old frame which is on the "To do list".
