Problems in wet weather and cleaning my triumph won't start.

Following... Mine started doing this and now seems to only have half power. Replaced spark plugs, disassembled and cleaned carb, and replaced air filter.

Dont you just hate the intermitent faults? However messing with the ignition should have no bearing on the fault, other than the connection plate inside the switch has become corroded or worn away, have you removed or replaced the switch? Ifyou remove the switch and dismantle the base carefully to check for ware or corrosion, this can normaly be repaired by using a file or some heavy sandpaper to clean the contact plate, igniter units either work or they dont,

Check your kill switch, get a hair dryer and blow dry where the switch is, its simple but worth a try.

Probably a loose or dirty connection in the wiring. Pull the gas tank and check all connections including the spark plug connection. You may want to put a more waterproof spark plug cap on the bike. If you can find it, get a can of LPS 1 and spray all wire connections, ignition coil and even inside the flywheel.

LPS1 is a di-electric. It will not harm electrics. Sprayed on ignition points, you can run a water hose on them while the motor is running and it won't miss a beat. I didn't believe it so I tried it. Works great! Google ' LPS lubricants ' for a source. Yes, I know it says lubricants. It is a di-electric lubricant. Try it.

Please rate this solution. Thanks!

Hello
Sounds like a lean fuel problem
i would check the fuel content and see if you have a plugged fuel lo\ine.
