Morris Minor Owners Club

Did I say I used a colour tune? Sorry, I might of done, or asked if I should, or was that the guy before me, who's thread I sort of stole. Well, I didn't actually use one (even though i might of said I had :oops: ). I checked the idle mixture by lifting a little pin on the back of the carb, it just ...

Might just leave that one then!

I guess that could happen with mine. In which case it's almost certainly easier and cheaper to put a different engine in. I'll torque the nuts up a slight bit more. Would they take 70lbft or is that too much? The correct setting is 50.

Cheers, Chris.

Roy, you might know Carl (Brumski)? On minifinity, well he has a few options about engine which I'll discus with him. In the mean time, I won't be driving it. Considering once started on 4 cylinders it will continue on 4, do you reckon pre heating the spark plug with a blow torch might get it runnin...

So, the rings could be letting oil into the cylinders, but holding firm when they are pressurised from the other side, ie, during a compression test. Ah, well, this is just getting worse, I dunno when I'll finaly be able to start driving, hopefully before the summer. I'll start looking for an engine...

I've had enough. It's going to a garage when I find one which will have a look at him. Here is my long, involved thread on minifinity... http://www.minifinity.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=33469 Everyone has tried so hard to help out, and I'd just like to say thank you for all...

I've tried two different sets of plugs. I can't imagine why it would only foul up the plug in the third cylinder though. hmm...

Do you mean actually taking the cam out inspection it? It's the same angine head. It has been skimmed though. But the problems were there before i did this. I was just hpoing it might cure the problems. but it hasn't so far. The valves seem to open and close when you turn the engine over by pushing ...

I've tryed everything, and was wondnering if anyone here could help. Ok, not a morris minor, but I've got an a series in my mini, so I can't imagine it's too different. My plug on my third cylinder keeps getting very sooty, like it's running very rich. Eventually it'll drop down to running on 3 cyli...

Issigonis has been found, well, someone found out where his ashes were scattered. "Lodge Hill Crematorium in Selly Oak where his ashes were later scattered in the garden of rememberance" Thats the place, anyway, we may or may not go down there as a group, or just one or two of us, or whate...

Heh heh, I think I'll stick with the minis for now. I had thouht about checking out some old newspapers in the libary in town. Maybe The Times from October the 3rd 1988 would have something. I never got round to it though, but now I'm on Summer holidays I've got loads of free time so I'll get myself...

Luckly I've been reading a bit of this forum, otherwise I would not of had a clue about the 4 inch thing...

I'll be a morris minor enthusiast before I know it...

Firstly, I'd just like to say hello everyone. I've just popped over here from www.minifinity.com to ask a question which has been puzzling a few of us. We are trying to find out where Sir Alec Issigonis is buried. when we do eventually find out we're might get a load of us together for a sort of pil...
