Start to finish, from troubleshooting, replacing, setting the right gap and much more, I show you how to replace the points ignition inside your classic motorcycle distributor, using a Triumph TRW as an example.

The goal with troubleshooting is to understand what we are checking for in order to make sure we are tackling the cause of the problems, not the symptoms. Otherwise, we are left with spending money and time on parts that may not have needed replacing. I show you start to finish the "why" behind the process, to give you a full understanding of how the system works, what to check for, and how to make sure we are fixing the problem.

Thanks for watching,

Parts Used for the DKX2A Distributor on the TRW (Which as mentioned below is the same distributor for the Triumph 5T and 6T):
For the Distributor Points Set and Rotor Arm, I purchased my parts through Morrie's Place. The Contact Set is p/n 400415. The description is for a Triumph 5T/6T, but have no fear, they had the exact same DKX Distributor as the TRW. The rotor arm is p/n 400051.

The Condenser & baseplate came from the Distributor Doctor. A great company that helped me purchase the right parts the first time. Very high quality and they are superb at anything to do with distributors and ignition systems - not just for the TRW. The condenser is p/n 400308 and the baseplate is p/n 400001

I pinned the comment, but I've also had a few people ask about the wicked hoodie I'm wearing. I got the hoodie from a shop in Australia called Caffeine & Gasoline Clothing Company - a rider who turns out some high quality clothing. You'd have seen a few of his items in my vids, because I just love the stuff. If you'd like that hoodie or similar items, please support a fellow rider who puts out some amazing quality clothing by checking out their page:
