Why no start on 1996 triumph thunderbird?

some ignitions require a minimum amount of rpms to energize the ignition. Are you saying by turning bike over you mean kick starting or push starting it? Some more info would help

This should be a straight forward replacement. Unplug the color coded wires and replace the switch with a GENUINE Triumph OEM switch - it will have the correct color coded wires to reconnect.

Check battery voltage, some 3 cyl. Triumphs miss on one when there is low battery voltage. T-birds for sure

Buy a wiring diagram and figure it out.

Hi, the good news is if you have a spark then the igniter is working, the igniter either works and you get a spark, or it doesnot work and you dont get a spark, if the bike was ecu then that may be different issue, what area r u from

Check fuel filter and air filter, then spark plugs, not necessarily in that order.

The pick-up coils fail sometimes but usually lead to a complete failure
Before just replacing parts u can eliminate some suspects ie kill switch,clutch switch & ignition switch by bridging
Also check that there isnt a spark jumping from an HT lead or plug cap

hi mate make sure you have put the correct amount of oil in and to check the plugs take the plug out and put it against the engine with it still connected and turn the engine over if it sparks ok then there fine if you want to go more technical get a feeler guage and adjust the cap on the plug to the manuals requirements good luck
