Morris Minor Owners Club

Overhauling usually comprises of adjusting the shimming at either end of the rack and possibly the re-shimming the removeable knuckle on the end of the rack. See link below for parts and location of shims...

Idle is rough and I need run it at 1300 plus
It has a low tech electronic ignition which uses points and an lcb exhaust and k & n filter
What should it idle at ?

Super

Matron..!

Thanks Phil
