Morris Minor Owners Club

We will be there on Sunday 16th - just a short drive of 8 miles!
Who else will be there?
Paul B & son Chris

I had a similar problem, bought a recon'd mileometer and a new speedo cable - sorted, mine was about 25mph out!
Hope that helps.

Unfortunate, but I can not make either date due to the knee being reconstructed! Have a great time and hope to see you all at the National Rally on 7th July!

Its The Carnival Is Over by The Seekers for my 2-door - Dec 1st, 1965!

Picky, I am going to state the obvious, you have set the timing correctly? I had the same problem after engine re-build. Going back to basics, I found I had not set the timing up correctly, engine was very tight and turned over very slowly. Tried starter motors, heavy duty battery, just like yoursel...

This will be our first major outing after complete rebiuld. Travelling down on Saturday from Sudbury in Suffolk at a gentile rate and staying over at the Hickstead Hotel just outside Brighton. Look out for Almond Green 2-door. :lol: :lol: L2B number 58 Will be good putting some faces to the names on...

They still do.
My exhaust is Stainless Steel and came from Bull Motif in 2 parts. Easy fit, tried to fit the original 1 piece....ahhhh.
Gave up and rang Bull Motif.....

Matt, yes it was and appologies.
But do not need that type of reponse to a simple request of tracking settings.
Thanks
PaulB

Cheers 57traveller, I will enlighten the new to the old....I wonder what they will say to 3/32"?!
No, I can't be that evil 2.5mm OK
Again thanks

Hi there, can any one advise the settings to get my tracking checked and re-set after re-build. Went to ATS & Kwik-Fit, both and had no records of settings as the car is too old. Too Old? She's only 40! Still a good looking Almond Green 2-door 1965. Body fantastic, goes OK, what more can a man a...

Hi Ray, it is the "not very original" lockheed logo'd master cylinder. I also was advised to stay away from pattern M/C's. Cheers PaulB

Going to take to bits when I get the little racal out this week-end and investigate further. I agree, unuasual for this type of master cylinder problem. 1 going wrong unlucky but 2....just wondered if manufacturer cheap skating somewhere on materials?
Cheers PaulB

Thanks Charly for advice, duly followed proper bleeding order. I have a remote bulkhead brake reservoir to avoid running out of fluid. Normally have brother under car bleeding brakes, me pumping the pedal and my son keeping an eye on the fluid level, topping up when getting low. Saturday is removale...

Any one else been having problems with new master cylinders? Just had number 2 go wrong. Basically after servere bleeding session when re-fiited, pressure just goes. Cannot bleed anymore as pedal just flops to the floor! Very frustaring after a 1 hour or so bleeding, brakes almost there, bleed once ...

Thank-you all for your help. Went through everything, still same problem. Went to Pub, 4 JD's, game of pool and back home. FLASH - timing ! Took off rocker cover, checked firing order - WOOPS, wrong big time. Re-set correctly, turn the key and instant life !! What a muppet I felt, the moral, do not ...

Big thanks to Chris Morley, Cam and Simmitc for advice. Will give it a go at the week-end and keep you all updated !

Need some real inspiration here. I have just complete a complete restoration on my 1965 moggy. The problem is the engine turns over very slowly. So cleaned up all connectors and double checked everyting. Still the same problem. Engine new, gearbox new, distributor new, coil new, starter motor new, b...
