My 1275 engine, the oil drain plug threads are stripped. I was changing oil, and the plug was seized. I finally got it to move but it won't unscrew, it's just spinning. Oil isn't leaking, but now I don't know what to do.
Thanks in advance.

Hi! I'm still having trouble with my Moggie. Symptoms: Starts and runs fine for about 1/4 mile, then a loss of power, but it doesn't stall. Still idles fine, just won't respond to accelerator. I can get it to go haltingly after that, enough to limp back home, cutting out and dying all the way, but n...

Thanks!

Hi- On the way to the little car show I run, my Moggie died. :cry: So-- It starts and idles fine, but when I press on the accelerator, it dies, but doesn't totally cut out, just back to idle. 1275 A Series, single HIF 44 SU carb. I really haven't done anything apart from having it towed back home, a...

Hi, all!
I have a 65 Traveller.
My flasher unit works fine, but the green indicator light on the stalk only flashes for one direction, although the lights do flash on that side.
Flasher is a replacement, wonder if I need a genuine oem unit or ...??
Hope the question is clear.
Thanks in advance!

Does anyone offer a loom (harness over here..) for just the rear of a 65 Traveller?
Thanks-
Dave

Thanks, guys! Moss Motors USA does have 1275 parts for Midgets. For some reason, the valve stem seals kit show intake only. Do I only need intake? Shown below. Thanks again.

Hi, guys:
I have a 1275 A series engine and I need a gasket kit, and I want to be sure I get the right one. I have a Moss catalog, but I only see parts for 1098's. Can i get it from another supplier? Wonder if there's a USA parts suppliers I can use?

Thanks in advance, as always.

Anybody make their own starter handle somehow? What are the dimensions of it? What's the diameter of the rod?

....from the front? Looks like one can turn the engine over from the front with some kind of tool, but I don't know what..?
Thanks as always, mates!

As my electrics are a complete mess..(bodged?).. I'm fitting a new loom, purchased from Charles Ware. Any tips or suggestions on installation?
Thanks as always-

Went to 14"

Got it, thanks, guys. Here's a pic of my restomod surf wagon so far![frame][/frame]

I'm ordering a new full loom (harness over here), and need to know if the engine has an alternator conversion..[frame][/frame]

So, I replaced the flasher unit from a parts store here and hooked up as before, but now it flashes, but the indicator on the stalk does not light up...?

I think I know the answer to this one, but thought I'd ask anyway. My indicators (blinkers over here) are not flashing. Stalk indicator light stays on all the time. Flasher unit bad?

My wiring on my 65 Traveller is..how do you Limeys say...bodged. Virtually every connection has been redone, some with just a twist and tape. Now my headlights and horn are out. I'm considering doing a whole new loom, but am intimidated my such a daunting task. On the other hand, seems like I have r...
