Answer
Hi Brian,
The Triumph 1300 had points, so the first place to look is the points to see that they open and close when the engine is rotated and adjust the point gap when open to .015" and confirm that they make electrical contact when closed and are open circuit when open. If they are pitted and burned replace them and the condenser.
