Hi Everyone Just replaced the cracked crossplies on the Morris Minor with 155x80x14,my question is what tyre pressures do you recommend. When fitted with the crossplies I used to run 22 front and 24 rear,but when the radials are set at the same tyre pressures they look a little flat? Is this correct...

Ok Guys Time for a silly question,when tightening the tie rods if I tighten them up as much as possible the castle nut is way too far in past the hole for the split pin. ie.the split pin itself will not be through the castle nut which does not seem right as this renders the split pins useless. What ...

Thanks everyone

The information is gratefully received,you have been a great source of help yet again.

Hi Guys

Sorry to be dumb but you said tighten up with the suspension at normal hieght do you mean put the wheels on and put the car back on the ground and then tighten them up.

Thanks

How tight do I tighten the tie rods,and do I tighten them with the car o...

Shes alive!! Thanks to everyone for their help,I decided to bite the bullet and replace most of the ignition system with new parts. Condenser,points,rotor arm dizzy cap and leads,and new plugs. This Morris has been off the road since 1989 so I thought it might be a good idea to replace the parts. An...

Hi Guys

Thanks

Craig

Checked the rotor arm,cleaned it and also checked the dizzy cap contacts and cleaned them but not difference. If there is a spark at the end of the HT lead from the coil does that mean that the condenser and the points are fine? The carbon brush in the dizzy cap seems OK. Would a crack or damage to ...

Hi Can anyone help please, Started my friends Morris minor today,started fine then started mis-firing badly and then stopped.Tried to re-start it but nothing, car turning over but will not fire.Checked the plugs and no spark at all,removed the HT lead from the coil to dizzy and earthed it and there ...

Hi All Happy New Year,I have a problem with the Carb on my mates Morris 1000.When I adjust the mixer screw to weaken the mixture as the engine is running very rich the choke sticks ON.Then cable is fine and the choke mechanism is free and lubricated,if I adjust the mixture to richer the choke does n...

Hi I have had problems with the ignition light staying on all the time,checked the voltage reading at connections D and E on the regulator as suggested by the haynes manual and it was only 6.3 Volts.Ordered a replacement dynamo and fitted ignition light still on but unable to check voltage as batter...

OK Im on it

Just like to say as I am new to Morris minor ownership,and this forum that you have all been very helpful every time I have posted with a problem.
THANKS VERY MUCH,no doubt I will be posting again next time I have a problem

Just a quick question,when greasing the king pins is it done with the wheels on and the car on the ground or with the wheels removed and the car on axle stands and the suspension just hanging down ie without the cars weight on it.

Thanks

Craig

Yippee,oil pump primed oil pressure good engine now running and sounding sweet.
