Re: Fuel pump problem

Hi. Today is the first time I've got back to the problem. I've taken the pump off. When connected to a battery the points click frantically. When I connect it to the fuel system it slows down dramatically but pumps fuel. I don't know how much fuel it should be pumping. Any suggestions ??

Re: Fuel pump problem

Will do panky. There's no inline filter. Is there internal points that may need cleaned or adjusted ??

Re: Heavy tappet tick

I would think there is an obvious problem as when I bought the car the engine was very silent on tickover so must be something needing attention

Re: Clutch Judder

I gave it the burn up in 4th gear Roy. Certainly made a difference . Does this point to rear crank oil seal. There's no evidence of a leak

Oil in rocker box

Hi. Started the Morris 1098 for the first time this year. No problem at all. I've always thought I've had a noisy tappet so curiously took off the oil filler cap. How much oil should I be seeing. I would have thought oil would be spurting everywhere. There is oil but not as much as I thought. Is thi...
