Morris Minor Owners Club

I have purchased a coil, leads, points and condenser from ESM and it is a Lucas coil.
The coil that was on the car was an auto sparks one.
Thanks for the feedback and help, much appreciated.

Is this the same diagram for a 1968 ? model.
Thanks

Evening all,
Does someone please have a picture or diagram of a full wiring loom they could send me or point me in the right direction were I can find one. I have come across a black and white illustration but I was looking for a colour illustrated one.
Thanks in advance.

Evening,
Thanks for the help and advice. After getting my neighbour to give me a helping hand to solve the problem, it turned out to be a problem with 2 spark plugs which have all now been changed and back to normal running.
Thanks again for all the help and advice.

So are you sure this is a fuel problem? The pump appears to be working, the float is working, but the engine won't start and you have a smell of petrol? If the float chamber is full, the valve will shut off and the pump won't tick. So it may be an ignition problem - remove one of the spark plugs af...

Afternoon all, After the information I received from all and having removed the hose from the fuel pump to the carburettor and fuel was flowing into a glass jar. I reconnected the pipe and still not starting and tried another piece of hosing. I have taken the top off the carburettor and checked the ...

Is there 12volt feed to the pump?
Has your winter restoration disturbed the wiring?
Give it a tap or three like Kevin suggested.

It was something that I didn't touch during the winter work other than change the hose from the pump to the carb.

Will give it a go at the weekend and thanks for all the help and advice.

First, disconnect the fuel pipe from the carburettor, place the end in an empty bottle and get someone to turn the ignition on. This will tell you if the pump is pumping fuel or not.

Thank you.

Afternoon, After some winter restoration works on my car and being on axel stands for the last 4 months it was time to let Monty see the light of day. I got him started after a few attempts he started and began stuttering badly and them decided to stop all together. I tried to restart him but didn't...

Evening, During the long winter nights I am currently doing some refurbishment work on Monty and I am looking for some help and advice on where I can get new fixing nuts for my wing mirrors. They are currently 11mm and not the correct ones for the car (been changed before I owned the car) and they d...

Thanks for allowing me to join the forum. I have just bought my Minor (Monty) 1968 in Trafalgar Blue. The car has had 4 owners from new and I am the new proud 5th owner. There a few things that the car needs to be done, one being the grill which has a few rust spots coming through the cream paint, t...
