Morris Minor Owners Club

Hello, pleased to welcome you,
Don't worry, plenty of folks are not 100% with the Internet and posting pics, you did great

Looking forward to hearing more about the cars and your efforts.

I concur with all points

Aye, I plan to run em both and keep one of the smiths as a spare.
We shall see.
Al

I wanted to be sure I have a gauge prior to engine install at the weekend so as well as 2 x smiths combined oil and water gauges I also bought a cheap TIM for under 30 quid. Here is a video of them side by side should you be wondering if the cheaper TIM is any good. the TIM came with the required 5/...

Glad it's sorted,
Just be careful about publicly stating anything that may be, well..........I'm sure you get the point.
Al

Call me fussy but any clutch that looks like it came from the bottom of the sea should be changed.

Have you been running without the gearbox rubber bungs?

Al

Very likely fuel,starvation. Petrol in the tank may not equal petrol in the carb. Check delivery first as this may well be your problem. A failing condenser normally results in much stronger sparks as the job it does is to prevent destructive arcing in the first place. It does not generate a spark i...

A sad and yet a happy tale as you had a spare and got home ok.

Perhaps modern coils are just poor quality? Certainly I wouldn't want one and keep a proper old stock spare as well as running a proper old one.

58 bullets for a coil sounds expensive, I'm sure that must be a good one.

Come on guys, that is funny.

Let's all have a group hug

Lwx905v where are you now.

My First car......

Thanks all, I've pretty much decided to use the parrafin that I've already got here. I've got chemical gloves and breathing gear for work so I should live. Im going to empty the tank after each use and allow the muck to settle. Them I'll disposed of with used engine oil at the local facility.

Yawn

Long time since but I see its back on eBay yet again and in a right state.

And still a big thing being made of it being owned by a previous owner.

To be honest I had not considered the health implications, and wasn't in the know.
Makes one wonder........thanks for the data sheet, interesting.
What to do now.......
Al

Nice, thanks for the link. It's a big tank, I would get away with the 25 litre jizer though. I suppose as long as it covers the pump then it should be enough.
I'll order the Jizer.
Cheers
Al

So you still won't tell us if the engine cranks,
Should we guess?

Hi there buddy, hope you are well :D I'm a big fan of Jizer, I use it myself. However, 10 gallons of it would be seriously expensive. £250 quid is double the cost of the Washer itself and so it is I'm looking for lower cost options. I wonder if jizer is available in big money saving containers. ,......

Define nothing

No oil light, no cranking, or really nothing?

Needed a parts washer and ordered today for delivery this week but there isn't any suggestion on the listing ref the solvent. I'm thinking paraffin as I've got 1300 litres of it :D and it's not a problem to syphon a few gallons from the heating tank but is that the best idea? I can't see it being da...
