Green is #1
Yellow is #2
Brown is #3
Red is always closest to you when removing.

Home!
Finally got the bike home yesterday afternoon. Used a uhaul trailer, which they said had wheel chocks on the phone, but did not. And denied they had said that it did. Screw it! After all the setbacks, I was making this happen. Strapped it down, and crossed my fingers-seems to have made it ok.
Discovered that I am, indeed getting spark-pulled the #3 plug, grounded it on the engine, turned it over and saw the spark, so yeah, I'm pretty certain. Next step was to check out the air box to make sure it was good. Only problem is, on these guys you have to pull the carbs to do so. Oh well, I had figured it was the gas drying out with the petcock on all along, so I might as well rebuild it anyway.
Here's the fun part-I called up one of our local Triumph dealers, turns out they don't make a rebuild kit. HUGE pain in the ass-now I have to look at the exploded diagram and order the parts individually. grrrrrr.
Also on the fun, discovered that the insert on the air box that holds the screw for the cover plate was cracked, so I'm going to need to epoxy that up.
