More info? What were the compressions when you tested it? But, go ahead snd remove the head if you must - but I fail to understand exactly what you expect to find (that you can not diagnose with the head on). Off the top of my head I can not remember the compression readings as it was many moons ag...

Is it because you are you getting no change in running when you pull the plug cap ?

Phil

That is correct Phil.No chage in running after pulling the plug lead

P.S the engine is standard as is the air filter

Thanks for all the replys chaps.I think i might take the head off and investigate further

I have a missfire on cylinder 2. The compression is good.The cylinder head is a reconditioned on by Minisport. There is a spark to cylinder 2.Tested by lifting the lead and looking for a spark. I have swapped leads round and plugs round to eliminate either of those. Bought some new points/condense/r...

Thanks all for the replys

The engine is out of the car and on my bench. The some shells do have slight scoring you can feel them with your nails but they are only slight.
May be an idea as suggested to contact a local branch. I live in Burnley Lancashire and there is a branch in Accrington

I have part stripped the engine to inspect. I have no idea of the engine history etc etc I have had a look at the crank shells and big end shells.I note that there is a little scoring but in my eyes does not look to bad but im nothing like an expert on this. I have taken some pics for you to have a ...

Re the HS4 Carb.

Phill are you sugesting using the hs4 with waxstat or without the waxstat.
Thanks

I think that you have proberbly worked out the issue. i bet that its the cable. I would order the outer cable as i suspect you just got a new inner
P.S make sure that you have routed the cable correctly to ensure a snag free cable

How did it work for you and what equipement did you use.

Thanks again Phil. I will try and find the marina manifold and carb

Thanks very much for the reply as ussual Phill. Is there any advantage in using a HIF carb. I do realise that it would require the correct needle and i would have to sort the manifolds to suite but is it worth it. I dont mind spending a few extra quid but i have my limits P.s what needle does the ma...

Thanks for that reply BOOOOM

Hi all Ive got myself a marina 1275 engine and im wanting to collect all the bits required but this has thrown me into a quandery as to which way to go foreward. So farr I have the engine but im going to partiall strip it to check the condition of the valves,crank bearings etc etc. I have the minor ...

Looking to purchase a claxon horn (the old fashion noise aroogha sort of noise ) Ive heard most of the new ones are not that great or loud enough. Anyone know where to sorce a good one.

Thanks to everyone the job is now done. The transfer pipe did need a slight bending. I made sure that i could finger tighten the connections before i got the spanner on. On first fire up I had a horrible squealing noise "big panic" turned out it was the dynamo bearings lol. I slackened the...

Hah Hah ok chaps went back to mini sport. Said to same guy that always serves me " Tail between my legs lol ive realised that I have made a school boy mistake". He said " when you returned the filter housing I had a word with the engineer and he confirmed that the new housing would no...

OH BLOOMIN NORAH IVE MADE A RIGHT DICK OF MYSELF Yes Phill the old gasket was still on :oops: Now i will have to go back to Minisport and face the embarrasement of buying it back lol. Ah well you learn by your mistakes.Thanks again Phill for your persistance. I will now go and give myself a kick up ...

Phil here is a picture. As you say its the countersunk bit thas the problem and not perticularly the main gallery

When I offered up the new filter housing to the block there was a gap at the top of housing. Ive taken it back now and got a refund.Thanks Phill for your efforts but Im sure that the block on mine has a larger transfer hole
