Morris Minor Owners Club

The Pump is a replacement pattern part although i hav,nt chucked the old one away (was,nt replaced by me). I,ve blown the line back tank and checked both valves. Going to try it on cold morning drive. As for noise ,i might try somthing later,ta. oh and thanks for the history lesson.

Ta, I,ll tap into the supply to the coil and do another likewise with the fuel pump.

Hi, Yes i know it,s supposed to click but is there a rubber sound insulator between the fuel pump and body of the car as i find it rather annoying . Also it seems to have a life of it's own when even standing idling . It will click one every five seconds then go off like a freight train . I dont thi...

Hi, When shorting the coil to earth , i take it that it should be done on the switch side of the coil . Correct me if i,m wrong. I found a switch by the wiper motor ,under the dash and there was an extra wire on one of the posts but i have forgotten which side. Just changed the loom so chopped all o...

i,m gonna try the 948 engine and box in my 56 splitty to replace the 803 and it,s box. QUESTION - Is the replacement 948 gearbox cover a direct swop for the 803 cover -screwhole wise? and what about the Gearbox mounts and can i use the same propshaft?

I bought a 948 lump and box for my 803 but i dont think it will improve things much . Can a 1098 lump fit a 56 splity and what box will fit with it. Also the 948 box has the remote extension on it. Can one remove the extension and swop it for the 'long stick' end bit from my 803 box?? I want power, ...

Is the procedure for fitting a new ring on the flywheel like chisel off the old ring and bung the new one in the oven for an hour and slip it on quickly before it cools ??

Just bought a 948 and box to replace my 803 and box . The gearbox on the replacement engine has the remote control extension. Can this be replaced with my gearbox endpiece to gain from the replacement engine/gearbox power/ratios but be able to fit the same mountings in my 1956 splitty??

Ive, only one cable from A but have more from A1, whats the difference??

Well thanks for that info, But you know the next question is now that i went the amp meter way (smiths) , it came with no fitting instructions but did come with the correct thickness of cable (two big black cables with spades at one end and rings at the other. I know that an amp meter is connected i...

Hi, whats the average oil pressure one would expect of 803cc ohv engine
(gold seal) psi wise ??

Hi, can you fit an ammeter to a car with a dynamo or does it have to be a volt meter?

What colour would you say my minor is (Jan 56). The Car plate states it is dark grey (FAJ11)but there are a number of greys for the moggy

Hi, Where can i get a drivers side glove box facia plate blank for adding gauges or does one use a glovebox lid if there is one for a 1956 splitty.do later lids fit? or do i have to make one up?

Just to prove it, i cut the spring in half and the piston raises right to the top and the engine runs and revs . I downloaded a program called winSUv2.6 and it tells you what choice of needles and jets you have but does not tell the part numbers untill you fork out 9.99 but it told me that a red med...

The piston only travels 1 centimetre into the dash pot before the spring underneath is fully compressed which relates to not much throttle opening. The engine is ok to idle . YOUNGUN ,cant you whip your spare H1 carb spring out and measure it,s free length for me? This car arrived on the back of a t...

That is just it , it moves down the bore of the dashpot cleanly untill the spring is fully compressed and it cant travel anymore but this distance is only just over a centimetre and therefore does not lift to even the halfway point of the throttle opening. YOUNGUN,can you not whip out your spare car...

I took my carb apart (803cc) and now the piston wont raise more than a centimetre but when i remove the spring it raises all the way with no catching. I cant see how i can put the spring in any other way. I am sure it was raising all the way befor i got my hands on it as i was running the engine aft...

Thanks all . The engine number was the same as the plate but the chassis number IS FAJ11/396848 and on the V5 is FAJ47 296848. I do this this is a transposition error between docs. The details on the original reg doc are smuged(see attached pic)(if its attached) and the plate was corroded. I,ll get ...

Are there any differences to the ratios of the 803 and 948 gearboxes . what is the best combination to go for . Is the 948 gearbox better than the 803 (low rev wise)?. Also the oil filter that has come off the 803 gold seal has a male thread on it (Purolator) . Can this filter be purchased any more?...
