Always used paper and a pencil down the plug hole for Triumphs with a mag. Im 68 and still learning
Nope, if you run the engine with the alternator cover off that plug will disapear to the darkest, dingiest corner of your garage never to be seen again and a large puddle of oil appear under the engine
Not so much a puddle.. just a good 5 yards of spray, oil on the ceiling, bike's left side covered...At least no questions about the performance of the oil pump...
This suggests to me that the "pip" on the plug has been shortened somehow
Are you sure that you have a 333 bung as, the 323 bung is shorter The 323 bung has a depth of 16.50 mm but the 333 is longer .Also if the bung has been pulled out with pliers, this damages the pip.
