I bought a 1958 Morrie from a lovely old man who lived 900 miles away. He had had the car stored in his garage for 30 years, but once the brakes were fixed he offered to drive it up to my city (what else but a morris could do a 900 mile trip at sitting at rest for 30 years
It made the first 700 miles, but then then the fuel pump diaphram ruptured. He put in a cheap electric one, and I bought a kit to recondition the original.
Now the problem is I didn't realise how tricky it is to get the diaphram in the right position and am having a very hard time getting it adjusted. I've tried doing according to the haynes manual (turn until the contact points don't cut over then turn back four holes). It does whirr away quite happily but doesn't seem to have enough suction to pull through the gas. I've tried adjusting it back but can't seem to make it work.
Anyone have any clues? I really want to use the original pump if at all possible. Thanks everyone.
