First thing I did was pull the plugs.
Two out of three plugs looked like this. Leads me to believe the valve cover may be leaking a bit.
No big deal as it's an easy fix and relatively cheap - gasket is around $30.00.
Next issue was the starter. I put a fresh battery in it and still the solenoid only clicked. Hm.
I grabbed a multimeter and tested the solenoid. It was functioning properly. Then I tested for continuity down to the starter lug. Success.
Tried jumping the starter directly. Nothing.
Pulled the starter out (a remarkably easy process I must say). Jumped the starter and nothing. Hit with a hammer. Nothing. Moved the gear by hand and jumped it. It spun. Very slowly. Then stopped.
Starter is dead. New one is here today and will be going in! Hopefully I can hear thing thing fire up.
Triumph in its typical state.
