Morris Minor Owners Club

The problem is solved

Don t laugh but my voltage meter is going crazy
This morning it said that the battery was 16,7 volt

I took another one and that one said 12,6 V
after starting with 1500 rpm it said 14,6 V so I am a happy moggie driver again.

Last week it was cold in Holland and it came to my notice that the battery was not very strong so I measured it and it said 11.8 V I drove with the lights and radio on the last several times and drove short distances so I thought that would be the problem but after charging the voltage dropped after...

Hi all, After 48 hours my battery dropped from 12,7 V to 12,25 V The red light for ignition goes on when I turn the key and goes off when the engine starts The battery loads at 1500 rpm to 14,6 V The only thing I changed in the car is a new radio but I connect it so that it only works when the car i...

Your right

I bought a headlight reminder and will install it in the car

I also drive a 2cv and the lights of that car go off when I turn the ignition of
therefor I forget the lights of the Morris

I will make the connection on the door switch as told above

Hi all
Little question

i often forget to turn of my lights
Can i connect the wire that cones from the fusebox to the positive side of the coil
So that when i turn off the key the lights go out as well
Or is there an other solution

Growing starters

In the hope of growing a power plant perhaps?

Don’t get too extracted from work I always sold pewter and English China in the shop in Holland and now I am retired and can’t do the things that I love to do quote=geoberni post_id=675659 time=1642075646 user_id=38183] PS I'll have to get up a bit earlier to beat geoberni's eagerness to help !

The cable is connected and it turns over but I do not know the English word for it the tip is not touching the fly wheel dot no worries I’m happy that the engine runs with help from you all quote=geoberni post_id=675657 time=1642074720 user_id=38183] And the car runs Small disappointment , now my st...

Great thanks for your help I just installed the new contact points (had to wait on the mailman) And the car runs Small disappointment , now my starter motor is dead I ordered a new one so tomorrow a new task So if I understand it correct there is no connection between 3.4 and nut number one Correct....

So if I understand it correct there is no connection between 3.4 and nut number one I think you may have insulated the connection with the washer. I can't make it out from the image. Here is the correct assembly sequence: Ignore what looks like a cable coming from the Insulating Bushes 2 & 5. On...

I have searched on the internet as well and found out that the coil is working. Your right I guess that the problem is in the small wire but I do not know if it is connect as it should From the minus of the coil is a wire that goes to the distributor inside the distributor it is on the same small ax...

As I look at movie clip part 2 you connect a lamp at both sides of the coil at my coil both sides are + so the light doesn't t go on....

Hi Bob Happy New Year to you 2 I already ordered a new Low Tension Lead & Insulator It will arrive tomorrow The cable from the low tension Lead is going to the - of the coil , the + is going to the ignition from the coil I took the low tension Lead insulator out this afternoon The end of the cab...

I did try that (cable disconnect from distributor and keep it near the engine block ) there is no spark Unless I've missed it, you have not changed the rotor arm. It's always best to change one thing at a time rather than everything at once. One at a time means that you will know what the problem wa...

It has 12,6 volts

Hi all I have a problem with my 65 Morris minor It is almost every day on the road and the engine starts in 1 second However, yesterday I went to a story and the next one was 400 meters further The engine stopped when I was there and I thought it was because of the cold (cold engine) But it didn't t...

I know the blue light is for the main beam It would be easier when there is also a smart light for the normal lightning but there isn’t so I think I will connect it to the oil filter light because I don’t have the connector on the oil filter There is no warning light for the car lights on the Morris...
