Morris Minor Owners Club

thanks for that, its a 1098 system. But im still unsure of what makes the ing light(Ignition light) stop comming on. Its a dynamo car. I suspect the previouse restor has used any part he can get, as car parts are really expensive here, except from one suppler but apparently hes a bit iffy on the qua...

Okay, sorry if you’ve heard enough of my wngine problems but its really frustrating me!. Okay, so the car seemed a goon runner, starting third time of 9 year old petrol. But now when i come to start it, it wont!. So far ive had a faulty fuel pump and a burnt out HT to the coil. SO the fuel pump star...

GOOD!, the leads are diffrent yes but i have a pait of HTs wich fit on the cap and the plugs, and ive allready checked the plugs and they fit in the engine. Thank god for that. Thanks for your help :):). Now back in the origional thread.

Sorry, im hijacking this thread for a moment :p So, i went to check if it was the fuel pump. To my joy it was!, allthough i can now smell petrol, no spark. I traced this down to a burnt HT lead going from the coil. No problem, i went to my shelf pull out my leads distro etc planning to replace... gu...

http://homeweb.mah.se/~lurija/morrisminor.pdf Thats a link to the workshop manual, full of very usefull stuff, has helped me!. Gratz on getting your car started, must have been a sticky situation with all thoase kids!. If i saw a minor which had brokcked down i would offer to help not laugh. Anyway ...

Hey there, welcome to the forum. It a lovely place here, very friendly :). First, let me start off by saying that this does not look like a hard resto project. Some of the people on hear are completly devoted to there minors and they are simply beutiful, and i think your can be too!. First, are you ...

Im not completly sure thats legal :p. Good fun though.

What sort of person would you expect to be into Minors?

He has a campervan a golf and a passat . Makes potery, and travels the world. Has soem intresting storys about africa though . Nice guy but i really didnt expect it.

Okay, so i recently moved to the countryside. Infact all i can see from my window is fields and trees. ALlthough we do have a neighbourh. Hes not the sort of person you would except to be into minors. But to my suprise, he had seen my minor. He then told me he had restored 4!. This was great, he eve...

But surely there are other miraculously saved minors out there? I need inspiration!

Agreed, give us some inspiration!. My minor right now just looks like rusty scrapyard thingy.

Lo there, im going to finally start my restoration. Ive had my minor for a few months now. I really haven’t done much in the time. It got a new air filter, and no seats on it, thats all. So im now going to officially start. Well the engine wont, but new ignition coil if on its was(Old one is faulty,...

If its not the coil, then why did it stop running after i removed it?

Okay, had anoter go at starting it. No more look. Did a test on the sparkplugs by taking one out then conecting it to the HT so i could see if it sparked. No luck, no spark. So im sure its the coil ive wired wrongly. As far as i can see there are 2 whish wires, which connects to the connectors at ea...

Yeah im sure its not the fuel pump since it worked finebefore, ill check the pump though. One last thing, there is a red cable connectng to my coil too. ANyway ill try swap the two greenishy ones over see i it works, probably wont have much luck though:(.

He, i took out my ignition coil a wile back to clean it up . ow today i came to start it up, it started before. But today the starter moor just ran until it became flat i tryed using the choke but to no avail. I fear i may have wired it wrongly, there is noinfo on ths in the leyland manual So, can a...

Like Nick Mans old minor( I think thats what his called). Very intresting project, and would be a seriously fast minor. Talking about fast minors. What is the fastest road legal minor?.

Hey, i bought my minor as a car to resore with not much info. SOme informaion idid get is that its had a new engine for unleaded, not sure what engine though. Its definatly an a seres with the almond green rockers. theres a plate on he engine with some numbers on it. Could this be the answer?

ive neve started my car with the starting handle but ive got close up this the braket thing on my 69 minor. Dont take my word for it though. That thing the starter handle pushes again looks like it will slip off if it is turned anti clockwise, and ther should be a movable part on the handle so in th...
