Thanks Edward!

Hi I have a 1967 Morris minor I would like some advice on adjusting the SU carb There is black Smoke coming out of the exhaust my workshop manual says to weaken the mixture turn the adjusting screw in a clockwise direction I hope this isn’t a stupid question but Does that mean turn it in a clockwise...

Hi
Thanks so much for all your advice, car all sorted fitted longer wheel studs with 5mm spacer wheels went on a treat, they look great!

Thank you! Would I need them for the rear wheels also?
Do you press out the old studs from the brake drum?
Thanks Richard

Hi amazing fellow Minor enthusiasts Happy new year! I just purchased a set of minilite wheels from ESM and went to have the tyres fitted to the wheels and the wheels to the car but when they tried to get the front wheel on it seemed to catch on the centre where the wheel fits over the wheel bearing ...

I decided to put the original points tat came with the car and it started but really bad misfire not running good!

Hi Thanks for all the excellent advice, just to give you an update I've now fitted new Points and condenser set the correct gap, made sure wires are correct on coil, tested Coil this has 12v going to it, still won't start no spark at plugs! I've looked at all the links for both Accuspark set up and ...

Forgot to mention there is a white wire with black tracer attached to nothing either end This was attached to the black wire coming out of the Accuspark to the coil, the red wire from the Accuspark went to the other side of the coil but wit the points set up I only have one wire from points to coil ...

Hi thanks for the advice! I’ve literally rebuilt that car, but sadly electrics isn’t a strong point as you may have guessed! It’s negative earth The coil is market + and -and there Is 12v to the + side of the coil with the ignition switched on! I replaced the head gsk and she was running so not sure...

Thanks for this! Could you please tell me Is there a single wire going from item 7 in the diagram to which side of the coil?
Thanks

Richard

Hi Bob you are correct it is Accuspark my mistake! I was going to try points again to see if the unit was duff it’s only been fitted for 3 years, but I don’t know how to wire up with A points set up! Electrics isn’t a strong point so not sure where the Wires attach from the dizzy to the coil! Thanks...

Hi I Left the Ecuspark unit in, tried taking the main HT. lead Out of the dizzy putting to earth turning the car over no spark! Tried a new coil Repeated the process no Spark! I have new points and condenser to try but don’t know how to wire up as the wires for the Ecuspark are attached to the unit ...

Thanks again, I’ll remember what the Dizzy is next time!!
Thanks Mike I do have one of those plug testers very useful.
Thanks for your help
Much appreciated
Richard

Excuse my ignorance what is the dizzy? Do you mean the distributor cap? Do I test the main lead by taking not off the distributor cap end and put to earth and turn the car over?
I have replaced the plugs but will put points and condenser in and see what happens! Thanks for the advice
Richard

Hi My 68 four door doesn’t have a spark at the plugs!
I have changed the coil still no joy
I did fit an ecuspark unit 2 years ago And has been running fine since my question is could that have failed and how would I check low tension spark?
Thanks
Richard

I bought a head gal set from ESM, carb gsk all Fitted job done!
Thanks for your input really invaluable
