Pulley on alternator comes loose

souds to me as though the bolt is shot, and possibly the thread in the shaft. If this has happened again after correct attention you should be seriously looking to strip and rebuild, even Locktight wont heal "wobbly gear shafts".

Fuel problems

There are two fuel pipes from the petrol tap to junctions between the carbs. Inside those plastic junction pieces, where the fuel pipe attaches are small conical mesh filters, 'witches hats' as described by the mechanic at my local dealers, it is likely that they are clogged up. Unfortunately you will need to take the carbs off the engine to get to them. Probably worth getting some new petrol pipes as well, mine had perished and become brittle after a few years and split when I pulled them apart.

On the road, won't start.

40 YEARS later??? If you mean every 40 miles you have to open gas cap to restart, the gas tank vent is clogged, not allowing air into the gas tank to replace the fuel leaving, creating a vapor lock. Find the tank venting system, and clear.

When stored oil goes from oil tank into engine,

This is quite normal. You have what is called a dry sump. The oil gravity feeds through the oil pump. you don't need to drain the engine , just start it and let it idle for a minute then check oil level in tank. The scavange side of the oil pump pumps 3-4 times more than the pressure side.

Bike will not start, Carbs

clean the carbs again, pay special attention to getting the float needles and seats clean and free of tarnish and debree buildup. Make sure the pilot jets and main jets are clear. Use a good spray carb cleaner and air, do not use a wire.

2001 Triumph 600TT. I purchased it missing a kickstand and tip over sensor. Where do I go from here to get it running?

Parts Suppliers. The normal thing to think is "I'll just bypass them", but the tip over sensor cuts power to the engine if you drop the bike riding it. https://www.google.com/search?q=2001+Triumph+600TT+kickstand+and+tip+over+sensor ..

1997 triumph daytona 955i. Battery. Is not charging while im riding it. Why ??

There are several possible reasons why the battery on your 1997 Triumph Daytona 955i may not be charging while you are riding it:
  1. The battery may be faulty. If the battery is not holding a charge or is not functioning properly, it will not be able to charge while you are riding the motorcycle.
  2. The charging system may malfunction. The charging system is responsible for supplying power to the battery while the motorcycle is running. If the charging system is not functioning properly, the battery will not be able to charge.
  3. The voltage regulator may be malfunctioning. The voltage regulator is a component of the charging system that regulates the voltage supplied to the battery. If the voltage regulator is not functioning properly, the battery may not be able to charge.
  4. The battery cables or connections may be loose or damaged. If the battery cables or connections are loose or damaged, the battery will not be able to receive a charge.
To troubleshoot the problem, you should start by checking the battery to see if it is functioning properly. If the battery is not the issue, you will need to check the charging system and voltage regulator to see if they are functioning properly. If the problem persists, it is recommended that you have the motorcycle inspected by a qualified mechanic. They will be able to diagnose the problem and recommend the appropriate repairs.

1997 Triumph Daytona 955i won't start.

It sounds like the battery is flat. Turn the headlight on and try and start it. Does the headlight turn into a dim glow worm?

My triumph trophy runs for 5 minutes then dies and won't turn back on

That is usually indicative of a fuel supply issue. Check the Petcock is open and working. Strip and clean the carb fuel bowls and jet.

I have a 2003 Triumph Trophy 1200 that has been in storage for 10 yrs. It starts Ok but when I try to put it in gear there is a loud metallic rattling noise and it won't go into 1st.

You are probably describing a frozen clutch caused by a long period of disuse - the clutch plates long pressed together under the pressure of strong springs have become frozen together. Sometimes only dismantling the clutch will cure the problem. Lots of people just keep the revs low and jam it into gear and hope the shock loading will do the trick. A much kinder method is to start the engine with first gear selected and go for a ride - changing gear without the clutch is quite a trick but possible. Keep the clutch lever pulled and by the time the engine is developing high torque in a high gear most clutches would become unfrozen...
