Morris Minor Owners Club

So do mine, lowlight included.

I'm hoping so

What gap should the points have? I can't find it in the manual.

Anyone is welcome to take a copy of mine if needs be...

It still sparks... but smaller sparks

The car had another stutter today on the way to the supermarket, is there anything else I can do to check?

Will do

I'm going for a test drive in a minute anyway.

I bet my handbrake is rusted on after two weeks standing...

Lovely car indeed. Wish I could afford it.

I will do :) One thing I did notice when doing the points on mine (and comparing it to the picture in the manual, is that I already have some sort of red plasticky thing with wires on leading from the base of the point blade to the 2BA bolts that has the copper wire from the pivot system on. Is this...

I've got the points in, and the pump is working, but surely the should not be a spark at the points?

What am I doing wrong?

I'm still after one of those, but in mirror image (for my LHD Lowlight)

It's not a straight swap btw.

I know She'll be up and running at the weekend.

The car is still being run in though, she has done 300 miles in the last four weeks, and less than 500 in the ten years prior.

She should do about 40 mpg though, and 50 mpg on the motorway thanks to the Variomatic.

Back to Morris Minors now My Minor doesn't do any miles on anything at the moment!

And as carefully mentioned by Roy, great for UNDOING things.

No good at all for doing things up on a car.

I did a test with the two different types on my DAF.
25 mpg on 98
30.8 on 95.

She is a bit of a drinker though seeing that she only has two cylinders and 746 cc (must get that timing right...)

Best thing to do is use studs of some sorts, as per the Series MM and Series II wheels.

Can't say I have done this myself, but I have seen it done with great success.

I sourced a complete set from Denmark through contacts in Holland...

Not cheap at all though, about 250 pounds at the time...-

The word dynamo springs to mind... :)

I'll see what I can do regarding these points.

I'll get some pliers and give it a try in situ.

I do have some spare pumps if I need them.

Regarding tools, all I have is my socket set 1/2" upwards and one open ended spanner (1/2"- 9/16")

Soon I will have my tools all in one place again.

Well done!

Good work there!

Is this is still with a metal "hood"?
