Do you want to fix it the right way or the easy way? I'd suggest the easy way. Throw some 12v bulbs up it and give it a rev and check what the voltage is. Try different combos - 6V front 12v rear etc and play with the wattages. I have 1 old 2t with a 24v rear and a 12v front. As long as it isn't popping bulbs you're golden. Pic for fred of the better cub.

I think the only thing that needs a bit of fab is making sure the pickup fits in the case You use the stator base, stator, flywheel and wiring. It's been a while since i've done one and had way too many bikes in between to be sure Prob just check the crank taper is the same for the flywheel.

just be aware the points that steppybits on TM and some others sell are pretty average reproduction units. A multimeter and a 6v bulb are really handy for timing them per the honda workshop manual.

i would encourage a CDI upgrade on this bad boy if you feel like a challenge. Lifan parts should bolt on from memory.

Charge your battery? The old C50s need voltage to make them excited. They're better when up and running.

Cheers @HumberSS - yeah blue bonnet (ok condition) and boot (bit shit - if i find another i'll swap it out one day)

@HumberSS Nice. White roof even! Nah, you sold it to the old boy who painted it with the Bunnings Enamel which it still rocks. Paint back when you had it doesn't look terrible, probs didn't need a repaint. It's had three plates over the years also according to Carjam. Not as easy to find parts cars now either. If you have any other pics would be cool if you shared them too.

oh and they never made the wagon in NZ - only imported - so there are a lot less on the roads.

They come up - sometimes cheap. A white one sold recently for about $2100 https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/triumph/listing/5743854257 The main thing to know is that all wagons are actually the Mk I triumph 2000 from the firewall back as they never changed the tooling to Mk II - instead grafting the front on. Otherwise most parts fit from sedans. The rear door window frames are slightly different as is the diff mounting and fuel tank. I haven't had any problem finding parts. There are quite a few suppliers selling bits in NZ and overseas. Usually easiest to buy a sedan for $200 and have most of the parts you need.

Just a note on Wenderholm / Puhoi area. The Waiwera Hill is currently down to one-way traffic in two places with 2 x traffic lights while repairs take place.. The queue heading north on the weekend stretched back to Hatfields beach. I would avoid heading north over this road at the moment.
