Have just found out whats wrong with my Trumpy Diagnostics thingy said Massive fuelling problem to cylinder no 3, its trying to pump silly amounts of fuel into it and cylinder 3 has virtually no compression!!!!!!!
so your looking at one of three issued then. faulty injector head gasket or piston rings. Did the mechanic offer any indications on the most lilky suspect?
Give Woods Motorcycles Units A1-A4 Peel Street, Abergele, Conwy, LL22 7LA, United Kingdom a call. Earthwin uses them and she trotts over from liverpool.
Pistons!! bugger. while he is inthere asking to grind in the valves ect. it will be like a new engine and should last you another bucketfull of years. Will she be ready for the egg run?
Hmm, if no3 injector has been over fueling, then the sudden stop on the road could be caused by hydraulic lock, hopefully the pressure hasn't been enough to break the piston rings or damage the valves, but make sure the oil and filter are replaced because the excess fuel will have drained into the sump and fooked the oil and will be slowly eating any rubbery bits it can find. Hope its a quick and not too expensive fix!
yep what yid said about the oil... might also be worth getting the timing chain done whilst he's got it apart, if you love your trumpy and want to keep him forever..
Feckin gutted!!! Just heard about Trumpy, whoever turned it into a streetfighter changed all wiring and didnt secure, wiring made ECU get false info, hence firing too much fuel into cylinder 3...Result, piston 3 has popped and ECU no longer registering truth!!! Have been told a rebore and new pistons over £1000, so am now looking for a block,pistons and ECU second hand, but have to be from T595 1997
What a bummer! Found this on eBay, but by the time you've had it installed in the bike you may as well have had the original work done http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRIUMPH-DAYTONA-T595-97-98-EN...947wt_1037

I would look for a donor bike that has been written off in a font or rear end smash as long as the engine and ecu are on then I would perform a transplant possibly use the loom too.
