Re: Garage lights
[quote I then bought an LED hand help inspection lamp made by Ring which has a magnet on the back too. It’s rechargeable but it cannot be used when plugged in and charging. My jobs usually take far longer than planned so I need a lamp that can be used connected to the mains. It is not unusual for me...

Re: we have a problem
True enough Chief, however, to quote Stuffedpike20 again, "Maybe if we posted interesting topics, more people would use the forum?" But who decides if topics are interesting or not and does a 'word association' thread qualify? I think we need to be told.

Re: we have a problem
Really? 'Promoting the preservation and use of the postwar Morris Minor' is the mission statement at the head of this board and, in my experience at least, it achieves those aims admirably. Or am I merely the victim of another conspiracy?

Yes, 'butterfly' is correct. You may find this video explanation helpful in understanding how it's all supposed to work:- https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=morris+minor+carburettor+choke&sca_esv=596546401&sxsrf=AM9HkKmNA2BaR2QMqDJqBPjSKGGd5bXyow%3A1704808759570&ei=N1GdZee1Ipu-hbIP-aWxkAU...

"...no movement on this thing in the carb until I’d got the knob out approximately 3/8”..."
That's normal for a correctly set up carburettor; it provides the fast tickover facility that I told you about much earlier in this saga.

Re: Combining Accuspark and Sparkrite.
P.S. The Sparkrite SX4000 is rubbish. John ;-) Is it? Pray tell.... -) The sixth post down should tell you all you need to know. It also explains why the one I bought proved to be a waste of money too, but if you still want to give it a go you can have mine for postage cost alone :-? https://autosh...
