Morris Minor Owners Club

Doris is up and running as she should be thanks to the visit of a fellow Minor lover who has much more knowledge than myself. Great job !!! and even though I didn’t take Doris for a long run out she performed very well around the block. Can’t wait to give her a good run out.thanks again Murrayminor....

Hi all just a quick update on Doris , as I reported last she ran fine then total cut out again ,after much deliberation and patients my uncle discovered the fuel pump was at fault it would work then stop quite randomly , I decided rather than re-furb best to buy a new one which I did and fitted and ...

Yes I will be giving the tank a good clean out , that is the next job this weekend , thanks

Hi al hope everyone had a great weekend , update on Doris . Doris arrived at my uncles Monday of last week via RAC transporter from Prestatyn , she was pushed into his garage for him to investigate . he has been involved in mechanics for over 50 years , I thought if anybody can get Doris going he ca...

thanks for reply , and Richard I totally agree with you I definitely don't have the skill HAHA , its a shame I don't know another owner near me to advise , Doris is as I type on her way back the Atherton Manchester via transporter, hopefully I can get her sorted . if anybody knows of a knowledgeable...

any thoughts on the possibility of it being a component that once get hot starts to fail , but if that was the case surely once cooled down again Doris would start again ,

Thanks for replies. We did not put an inline fuel filter on after the pump. So may have dragged more dirt up past the fuel pump filter. Who knows. All I know is I’m having Doris brought up-to Atherton and let a trusted and competent motor mechanic who my uncle has used for years look at her. Hopeful...

Hi all !! Just an update on Doris. When to wales yesterday to see her and had an idea , seeing as I am in the RAC thought I’d call them out and see what they could do. Nice chap turned up and was over the moon to actually be able to do some good old fashioned mechanics stuff , he had been in the tra...

Sorry forgot to add . Doris is a 1970 2 door saloon Almond Green

A big thank you to you all for the info , I am returning to wales Saturday first thing I will do is check for a good spark and check ignition coil leads have a good connection , but surely they must be connected up correctly as Doris fired up no problem previously , but I will check as a measure of ...

as I said I am no expert but she was ticking over nicely on the drive for 10 minutes then just cut out , and checked the fuel gauge and this was showing empty so assumed she ran out of fuel , put in £7 of fuel and gauge up to quarter tank . I might have to see if I can find a local mechanic who has ...

Great and thanks for the reply , and no I don't mind at all you putting things to another thread , if it helps all the better , im not very clued up with all this . So the story so far my Minor ( Doris ) is currently staying at my sons house in north wales near Prestatyn , as I said previously I dro...

thanks Tricky I will try that next when I return to Prestatyn in Wales on Saturday , ill be spending the full weekend there so fingers crossed , first job battery on charge . Did a silly thing tried to jump start her soon realised she is positive earth , hope ive not caused a major disaster . Cheers...

Hi thanks for reply. Checked fuel pump and it is clicking and delivering fuel to the float chamber then stops clicking as float chamber full. I’m wondering if the fuel is getting through to the carb. What you think I should try next ? Cheers

Hi all this is my first post . I purchased my first Morris Minor 2 door salon in June I've named her Doris and as of yet only manage to drive her for about quarter of a mile from the repair shop where she had all welding done and has passed her MOT which is GREAT . but not so great is when I drove t...
