Re: Electronic ignition

Hi Tom, when it comes to this fairly contentious subject you could do a lot worse than check out the following website and perhaps phone him for a bit of guidance too:-

Good luck with whatever solution you finally decide on.

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. :D

The forum lacks posters.
An interesting observation, especially so when you consider my 1072 total posts against your own 529. :roll:

This forum is lacking a lot...
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...

Re: Can’t get my daughters car to start

"...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...
