message: As part of the Motorcycling WikiProject I am working though all the missing articles and stubs for British Bikes.  To make things easier to sort out I have created a category for British motorcycles.   Please will you add to any British motorcycle pages you find or create.  It will also help to keep things organised if you use the Template:Infobox Motorcycle or add it where it is missing.  I've linked the Category to the Commons British Motorcycles so you could help with matching pics to articles or adding the missing images to the Commons - take your camera next time you go to a rally!

message: * oh well thats not how i remember it, tho maybe then it was another programme. in any case tho, its the only tv showing of a triton so surely thats better than nothing - then again, maybe wikepedia is a website for 'nothing' in that nothing is what readers get going by this outcome.  tho i'll put this on my userpage an direct colleagues there instead of this page as it'l have as tv link.

message: It has been suggested (& an editor has rightly put a "citation needed") that some Meriden Triumph engines used in Tritons had fuel injection.  This is news to me, and I can find no references anywhere.  Did the Weslake 8-valve head use EFI?  Modern Hinkley Bonneville engines have had EFI since 2007, but as far as I know, nobody has built a Triton using a Hinkley engine.  Arrivisto (talk) 18:37, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I distinctly remember fuel injectors being fitted to Tritons in the 1960-70s when they were popular to built but I don't remember which manufacturer made them. Motorcycle Mechanics may even had had an article on how to fit them but I don't have access to them. I have no clue about modern builds. ww2censor (talk) 20:10, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I placed the cn for injection - the complete article is conventionally unreferenced, and it would be at least interesting to know where the bulk of the original info came from (ignoring the 'injection' bit) without doing lengthy research. The 'injectors' were called Wal Phillips, and were a racing 'fuel-tap', vapour not a pressurised spray, relying on a 'head' of fuel above to provide minimal 'positive pressure' at the jet, developed during the 1960s by an old grass-track racer. I doubt that they were commercially successful, they were marketed over a number of years but were very difficult to calibrate and were thought of as 'open or shut', ie. without the four-stages of progression that a normal carburettor has. Available for any bike, not just Triumphs, often fitted to sprint Lambrettas. They come-up on ebay, usually pivoting throttle-plate type (Uk, not looked on US) they also developed a guillotine slide-plate big bore type for racing.  When I cited the Kawasaki Z1000H as the first production bike with Fi, there was one a few years previous, the TTSE Munch 1200 with a Prinz car engine. Very small volume production, perhaps 200-ish. Must have been mechanical injection in those days, though. Rocknrollmancer (talk) 01:39, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
