Morris Minor Owners Club

Got it now

Hi, just wondering if someone could give me the username and password out of the latest minor matters. I have lost the magazine and need the username and password to re-new my membership.

Kind Regards

I will give it a go and get back to you!

Thanks All

I have changed the HT leads and dizzy cap and it is running much better and is actually drivable. It is still misfiring and coughing , but I am sure this is mixture related. Any tips and suggestions on setting the mixture would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

I will check the lead order tomorrow as it has just started raining here in sunny Cheshire! I should imagine they are in order as my mechanic served his time on Morris Minors. It is strange that when I picked it up from the garage on Friday, it ran beautifully for around 15 minutes. Went to start it...

It starts first turn of the key, but is very rough when idling and when pressing the accelerator when stationary. I'm at my wits end with it ! ha

Yes all topped up. I have fitted a new points distributor, leads etc, new air filter. Could it be mixture related?

old coil is back on, but it was running rough before I swapped the coil.

Any ideas ?? It's back at the garage on Monday so he will have another look then.

It's the coil that came with the distributor as a kit...

It's still not right... After swapping the electronic distributor for a points and condenser set up, I managed to get 10 minutes of misfire, cough and splutter free driving before it was back. Now even when stationary it is missing and coughing when pressing the accelerator. Any Ideas? The coil (new...

Give them there due, they have accepted a return and are willing to refund, so at least I can build up a collection of points and condensers to carry in the boot for that dark rainy night!

Completely gave up the ghost on Saturday. Turns out it was the electronic ignition at fault. Not even the slightest spark there. I swapped it over for the old distributor (With points and condenser) and she runs like a dream. I would NOT recommend electronic ignition to anyone! You are best sticking...

I have tried new plugs etc. It seems to be idling very fast too, and when I remove the oil filler cap the engine speeds up and runs much smoother.

Hello all. My Minor is running very rough at the minute. The fault has occurred all of a sudden. It has poor starting, usually three or four turns of the key, idles very rough with a chugging/ hunting exhaust noise. (Sounds like a tractor) and it backfires when cold. I have electronic ignition fitte...

Thanks very much! that is a great help

Hello all,

I own a 1969 almond green 2 door and I am having difficulty finding the first owner. Where does one begin to search? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All sorted, started first time after tightening the belt up and charging the battery. Went for a good run and all is fine! (for now)

Thanks for the help

I made sure the nuts were tight this time. So when the battery has had a good charge I will try again!

Thanks

Hello all. I recently replaced my fan belt and it was adjusted to the recommended tension. However, as I was informed, the belt has slackened off (A great lot) ! I hadn't noticed until the car wouldn't start and there was no voltage at the battery. I have tightened the belt and the battery d on char...
