Morris Minor Owners Club

does anyone know were i can send my rev counter and maybe speedo to get reconditioned, and see if they can fix my rev counter

thansk tom

Speedos are so cheap - not worth 'reconditioning' - what type do you need ? And - what's wrong with the rev counter ???

dont know think one of its previous owners blew it, cause i have wired it correctly and dosnt move but the needle wobble when i shake the gauge

Hope you had the wires the right way round! Are you SURE you wired it correctly ? Where did you connect the wires ??

yes i think so, becuase cause the car still starts and it didnt fizz and spark,

i one end of the white wire on the coil then connected the other end of the white wire onto the wire i took off the dizzy and conncted the blue wire to fuse box

i followed the diagram

And did you also earth the rev counter ?

yes i bolted to the bodywork under the dash

Sounds like you did indeed do all you can.......

well ill try find somewere to get it fixed

Don't know of anywhere. Is it really worth fixing ? Can you open it up -and see if there is maybe a fuse inside ? I have one of these somewhere - must try and dig it out!

it is worth fixing cause of what i payed

could try open it i did find a place on google might email them

If you bought it recently - send it back for a refund!

wasnt recently, baught and never used for a while other wise i would

If you paid more than £5 for it - you were DONE! Especially now it doesn't seem to work..........

I dont mean to speak out of turn. I think that if he wanted your opinion he would have asked for it.

we all know that if we want to sell one to you it has to be under a fiver, but for petes sake "just because you have an opinion doesnt mean the world wants to hear it".

There is some good trouble shooting bits above but I think taking that tone is going a bit far.

Back to the thread:

Ill be watching this thread as I bought one on Ebay recently but cant get any joy from it. ive done all the wiring bits and pieces. I was wandering if it could possibly be from a positive earth car but the case is isolated from all the internals.

(for the reccord I paid £5.50 but bought it because I like it!)[frame][/frame]

Ash, looks like standard wiring colours on your counter.... Black = Earth, Red = Live, Green = Illumination, White = Trigger. Looks like it should be mounted in an isolated pod or dash mount also. Good luck....

well speedy cables have told me they can fix it but set it up for my electronic ign and 4 cylinder shouldnt cost to ,much they said
