my 1960 11oo starts well untill she gets hot then she starts to faulter at low rev's,before cutting out completely,there is no smell of petrol, plugs,points fine,earth good fuel geting through,very annoying as got to get to mot station next week,oh by the way when cooled down starts fine, Help please.

Dear All, When checking oil and water today,i noticed oil bubbling away around each of the spark plug base's,where they screw into the head ! I took out each plug in turn and they seem normal i.e not oiled up! she does not use much oil and no water loss and no oil in water that i can see and she run...

I took mine to my local garage and they did exactly that,In a vice two wacks with a ball peine and off they came,could have saved myself a tenner if i knew it was that easy !

I love this sort of banter ....Great ..keep it up ! 9" drums ? cant beat them !

I collect Rust,scraped knuckles,dirt in eyes and old oil and grease which i keep under my fingernails..... Beat that ?

Thanks,points noted !

i know with pistons the oversize is stamped on the top,how do i tell if the crank has been reground,will the size be stamped on back of old shells or stamped somwhere on crank or con rod shells ?

Have purchased a running 1098 cc engine to replace mine,(Iwas going down the route of a 1275) but the prices for them,even a claped out one is getting too strong for me and at the end of the day she only goes out on high days and holidays!,Would have been nice tho sigh :( ...Anyway have partialy str...

I need a new dizzy,and from reading previouse posts it seem's you can get a 25d4 dizzy from simon bbc quite a bit cheaper than a new lucas one and has been recomended by quite a few members,but i am a bit confused by some of the post that say 45d dizzy's... Are these one's for 1275 or are they a bet...

Thanks !

HI,Just a quicky,Can a 4 door, front stainless window surround fit a two door ?

Dear All, From reading other threads ,it appeares that i dont have a "Gearbox Tension Cable" or "Steady Cable" ,i have what appeares to be a Earth Cable from gearbox to cross member but no steady cable,were all models fitted with this cable (mines a 61 fitted with 1098 engine and...

hi,on the subject of steady cables,i have a 1098 with ribbed gearbox,and dont seem to have a "steady cable" on the gearbox,I have what looks like an earth cable (braided like one on battery) connected from box to cross member,is it missing (the Steady Cable that is) or were some model's wi...

If i were to buy a Midget 1275 Engine and gearbow,How do i tell (if it's out of car ) If it's a midget engine and of 1275 cc What are the tell tale markings on the block and/or other sign's,Only i have seen one advertised and dont want to be mugged off into the wrong size engine and/or none midget e...

I might be wrong but according to the manual there should be 3/4" freeplay at pedal end for the 948 cc and 1 3/8" to 1 1/2 free play for 1098 cc ....A 67 should be a 1098 cc

Great answer PSL,Am fitting one at the moment along with a oil pressure gauge,And even i understood your explaination,A vibrating strip ! V clever ! All becomes clear now,and thanks for sensor info,Will save me no end of trouble !

Not Multigrade It's lawnmower oil straight 30 SAE from local garden center !Could feel the diffrence after filling !
Seems the front is making the clonking noises.

Sorry that should have read 1 1/2 " from stops to flat plate,Before loping stops of course !

It's 1/2 " from bump stop to flat plate,have sliced 1" off stops but still no diff,Will try flushing dampers again ! Thanks Old Nick

Which H T Leads are best,Copper, Silicon,Carbon? Or with a minor is any old lot from the usual suspects ok ?
Am looking for reliabilty,Tried looking on prev post's without finding and appologise if this has been covered before !
