Re: Morris Minor Pickup 1965 not starting

Hi, Only managed to get back to looking at my Moggie this week. It is with great delight that I managed to get it to start. What was the fault - the key. I thought that from the start as I wasn't convinced it turned the ignition switch correctly. I bought replacement ignition switches (2 different t...

Re: Morris Minor Pickup 1965 not starting

Hi Bill, Thanks again for your assistance, made some progress but now lost the light for tonight. The battery is full charge 12v. Both A and A1 are getting 12v. I didn't get anything from the red/white wire on the starter solenoid. I tried the cable end itself, the connector on solenoid and when con...

Re: Morris Minor Pickup 1965 not starting

Hi Bill,
thanks for your 2 replies. Yes I will give that a try re the starter. Hopefully I will get some time to do that this weekend.

Yes will get the dodgy connection fixed as well.

Cheers
Linda

Re: Morris Minor Pickup 1965 not starting

Hello, I can get the headlights to come on, the interior light works as does the horn. I can't get indicators to work yet. Unable to see if brake lights work until I get someone to help me. I got a new ignition key - but that made no difference. I can't see any isolation switch. Please see attached ...

Re: Morris Minor Pickup 1965 not starting

Hi, thanks for all the replies. My update: the battery is fully charged - as I removed it fully and put a charger on it. Many hours later I put a bit of wire to both terminals and the sparks were strong. Put battery back on (as it was previously) and no change whatsoever. Though I have 2 keys only o...

Re: Morris Minor Pickup 1965 not starting

thanks for the replies. That video you provided Stephen was very useful. As I don't get any lights on to indicate ignition on etc I did put a battery charger on it, it was reading as if not flat. I think I will put the charger back on again and leave it for a few hours. I will totally disconnect the...

However, I have not been able to start it since then. I have pulled the choke fully out and turned the key a qtr turn but nothing. The...
