Re: Engine not starting

I ended up having to replace pretty much all of the dizzy and spend a while on the timing but for the first time in 24 years the engine is running and better than that she is purring!

Thanks all for your advice, it's really appreciated.

So, brakes next!

Re: Engine not starting

Thanks for the next steps. The HT leads are in the right order but I'm not convinced by the distributor setting as looking online today it appears to have been turned 90 degrees anticlockwise. I'll look at that with the moving leads one position and at the ignition timing next and will let you know ...

Engine not starting

Hi, I'm new to this forum and new to the world of Morris Minors and Traveller's so firstly I'd just like to say hello and to apologise for starting another 'engine not starting' thread! I'm the very proud owner of a 1970 Traveller that I've now had for almost 2 weeks which needs a lot of restoration...
