I drove 30 miles home with almost no brakes. They have now been done. The rear gearbox mount only has one bolt, not fo...

That vacuum leak was indeed the culprit. Starts much more easily and revs nicely. Not yet ben out though as the weather is foul. Next trip us to my friendly welder for a little tlc.

Thanks Richard. Most of the above OK. All tappets at 12 thou. Timing by timing mark and test lamp. Believe mechanical advance working (dist. shaft springs back) Plugs at 25 thou. Since all was ok previously just the leaky vacuum possibly. Am devising a method of sealing the connection, then we shall...

Good thinking Sir.

I am trying to resolve a misfire on my 1960 948cc minor. It occurs when increasing the throttle after starting. It coughs and splutters, revs drop and backfires. Timing is set at 5 dedrees BTDC.

I can recommend the DD. I have used his red rotor arms and other bits in several classics. Once I have Maurice's (previous owner's name for my latest aquisition) I shall be kitting out the distributor with his gear.
