The return spring hasn't snapped but is loose enough for me to pry it out with a little force. The throttle cable which is from a metro hasn't always seated properly but have had no problems for 6 months with until now. Kind of stumped to be honest with you. Just sounds like someone's accelerating a...

Hello guys and gals, iv got a little issue that's stopping me driving my car. Had the bonnet off for 3-4 days getting some work done. Covered the engine with plastic to stop any rain, when I go to start it now it seems to be revving on start up and keeps rising quickly so I have to turn it off using...

Yes it does spin freely but just doesn't want to run. It's parked up in derby now and iv come back to birmingham, iv got exams coming in the next week or so, so Iv left it in a secure place and will fix it after my exams. Probably go for an alternator which will get rid of the regulator aswell.

The dynamo moved around 2 centimetres, is this running as a motor? It was like a twitch. I was driving on the a38 when the red light popped up so I don't think wires could have been disturbed. Maybe the water leak and steam from that might have caused something? Iv been looking at a few alternators ...

Auto test centre derby, very friendly and do a great job. Right opposite the morris minor owners club in derby

Oh sorry yes I did ran a piece of wire through both terminals on the dynamo and put a jump lead on the wire and the no earthed terminal. I got a twitch from the dynamo.

Hi tried everything today new brushes, greased the bearing and in getting nothing ignition light still on. I'm thinking of getting a alternator conversion, which would be the best kit to get? There some on ebay that look ok but I don't want the alternator to give me problems.

Regards

Hi yes the two wires are secure. I took the dynamo off today and opened it up. The brushes had plenty left on them but I replaced them anyway. Got a compressor gun and blew any dust within the dynamo. Put everything back on and still no charge. I don't know what to do now as I needed the car to run ...

Where have you come back from? Hope it was nice.. If you remember which contacts please do say as I need to check that and havnt worked with a regulator. The water pump bearing how do I check? Just try to pull the belt?

Oh it's on idle and does not got out. I was driving it today and it went dead I rolled to the side and attach some jump leads to charge the battery for a awhile which got me home. So that must indicate the dynamo is not charging. Hopefully the bushes I ordered will sort the dynamo out and get back t...

Ok BMC thanks for your input, so I will be getting brushes tomorrow and will carry out the work, my fan belt that I replaced recently might have been a little tight. I'm thinking that might have worn the dynamo down which may be causing the ignition to light up at idle.

Thanks

Hi just been outside, turned it on the fan belt is nice and tight no slipping, it's turning the dynamo freely and the water pump. But iv still got the ignition light on constantly, do you think the steam caused by the valve has got into the dynamo some how? Have you got a guide on how to open dynamo...

Hi guys had a few problems today, was driving on the a38 when suddenly the ignition light came on and I started to hear some whizzing from the engine, it then stopped and all was ok, then It came on again, so I soon realised when going above 60 ish it was coming on, then dropping back under 60 it wo...

Hi there, I was outside for around 3 hours yesterday adjusting points and setting everything up. Just wouldn't run right so I took the airfilter off to check the piston. It was not lifting on throttle. Turned out that the airfilter housing was pushing onto the dashpot and trapping the piston inside....

Thanks guys. Everything all seems held in place. My idle speed is just so high and when I adjust it it's either too low as if it's about die or too high . When braking and putting the car into neutral and then downshifting the revs increase which is making it hard to drive, if I put the car in secon...

Great help one again i fitted to today finished about half hour ago. Looks and sound nice, but first when warmed up with no choke it would kind of die, I then adjusted the idle speed and got that set ( I could be wrong), it was fine after that then drove around and the revs seemed high and when accl...

Iv already installed a hs4 carb. I did that with your help before about 2 months ago. I want to cut the inlet manifold from the exhaust manifold and use my stainless steel exhaust system. The hole is on the left hand side of the manifold I attached. Could any bolt fit ?[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbi...

Hi it's a nut that's supposed to blank off the hole on the manifold, I think, it's designed if your car has a brake servo something like that, I think it's a 22mm nut. In fact it's a bolt not a nut lol. I will Be angle grinding the original inlet off the exhaust manifold, it's because iv got a stain...

Hi there Iv ordered a alloy inlet manifold which I will be fitting on the weekend, however I forgot to order the blanking nut, could I use anything else to blank the hole off like a nut from a hardware store? Also the studs that stick out from the carb side Arnt present. Where do I get the screws so...

Saw a white/cream minor today on Stratford in hall green birmingham. Had a wooden rack on the boot, nice example.
