Thank you very much indeed, great info there.

I'm going to have a crack at this in then next couple of days and will come back with the results.

Thanks again!

Many thanks!

Many thanks for this, Stephen. I did dismantle the motor before removing the rack so no worries there. I'll try to get some oil on the spindles and have duly noted the warning re the gloxeboxes. This car has been very, very little used over the last few years and has not seen rain for even longer so...

Hi all, my 1966 2 door 1000 has an issue with the wipers. They move up to the vertical position without issue, but then stop. I can manually push the wipers back down, at which point they move up to the vertical position again and stop. I've removed the top cover from the motor and disconnected the ...

mrben The starter Bendix is serviceable. It needs a good clean to get rid of the oil. Once clean do not lubricate. You will need a special tool to remove the Bendix if you decide to go that route. Any other method of removing the Bendix is dangerous as there is a lot of pent up energy in the fitted...

Yes shame about the missing tooth! Photo of the starter teeth hopefully attached. I think this one is ok but I was planning to rebuild another starter with new bendix/gear and fit that when the engine goes back in. As an aside, this starter appears to have been contaminated by a leaking heater valve...

Thank you, much appreciated.

Hello folks.

Apologies in advance for asking what I'm sure to some is an obvious question.

Please could someone have a look at the following pictures and tell me if the ring gear pictured is servicable? Wear is similar all the way around.

Many thanks.

Fantastic! Thanks very much indeed for the link, good of you to find and post

Thanks both. I've seen the Burlen site but am currently none the wiser. Seems my ADE needle is a .090" size. There are a number of .090" jets, all with part numbers beginning LZX and I'm unsure how to cross reference to the AUD4759 I currently have in order to get a suitable replacement. ...

If in doubt post the float chamber number on here.
The float chamber number tag is the key that opens the door to the SU spare parts store.

Good info, many thanks for that Phil.

I have a 1966 Minor with a 1275 engine from a '68 Midget. A fuel leak recently developed from the pipe seal at the bottom of the float bowl. With that sorted, I now have another leak that seems to be coming from a deteriorated pipe to the jet, presumably on its last legs before I disturbed it. On ta...

Thanks very much for the info, Bob. I'll try to send him a picture of the part - thats a good idea. He says he has worked on loads of these (been a welder for 37 years with scars to prove it!), and things he mentioned when we were discussing Minors certainly backed this up. He talked about measuring...

Hi folks, my Minor needs a new rear spring hanger piece on the o/s. The pin that the damper arm link attaches to has come loose due to corrosion, plus it has been patched before. The welder chap that is doing it for me has asked me to get the panel that goes on the other side and extends up a bit. I...

What sad news. A real loss, not least to us here in the Minor world. I strongly suspect Roy had forgotten more about Minors than I will ever know. His advice, help and support over the 15+ years that I have had my Minor has been very much appreciated.

RIP Roy

Thanks for the info. I did wonder why it was turning over more slowly, didn't consider the effect of the different number of teeth.

9T or 10T? When I bought the current starter about 10 years ago it had 10T against the original with 9T. I was very doubtful that it was a straight swap, but the Lucas man assured me that it was, and it certainly has turned out to be so. The only difference is that the cranking speed is noticeably ...

D'oh! I did buy a new starter motor. Would this likely prolong the life of the teeth on the flywheel, or shorten it? The old starter has 10 teeth, the new one has 9 if that makes any difference. Best pic I have of the flywheel: http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m237/jonus_02/Minor/flywheel_zpsqemwm...

Folks, can I ask, how do the teeth look on this starter motor? I was thinking perhaps I should replace it, but I'm not sure how they are supposed to look. The teeth on a new one look to have a similar profile that suggested perhaps this one is still ok. http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m237/jonus_...
