Carburettor Dashpot
I have just spent a bit of time making a new throttle spindle and re bushing the carb body as it was so worn it was untrue (130,000 miles)
Anyway it all fits quite nicely now and I am interested as to what others put in the dashpot, the Operations Manual refers to SAE 20 and I have always put in enine oil which is usually a 20-50 multigrade, could this be a bit thick?

Not all that thick, just a bit thicker than 3 in 1

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.

Yes, 3 in 1 works well as does the ESM oil- great suppliers BTW. Dont use 20W50 as my Trav seemed a little more sluggish and a slight pink on throttle opening- perhaps 20W50 is too thick and the piston does not rise quickly enough to richen the mixture. BTW, I use my Minor quite a bit so throttle response is important to me.
Cheers John - all comments IMHO

Do be sure the area is still sound behind the post, and if it isn't, get one of these http://morrisminorspares.co.uk/shop/pop ... p?pID=2397 not one where there's an angle which is meant to cover the outside of the post. They don't seem to be on the ESM site any more, but that's what I ended up with
PM sent too, btw
