Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi All

I have just replaced the dizzy with an electronic one and also put a new carb on.

I have set the timing as per the book and she fires up with the use of the choke. The carb I set at 2.5 turns - however she will not rev and has now started to backfire. I put a color tune on her and the colour is exactly what I would expect.

I have turned the dizzy to see if that helps but although she increases in revs and decreases she still won't rev properly.

Any advice greatly appreciated

Tells us more about the new carb, is it off/for a Morris?

Always better to change one thing at a time, then you know what to twiddle first!

Exactly - only change ONE thing at a time...... Put the carb back on and try again. Colour tune is useless........ just set the idle for best/smoothest running - then check with the little 'lift' pin cunningly provided by SU just for the job!

Hi

Your right - I should have left the old carb on while setting up the dizzy - so will put the old carb back on today and set up the timing again and then put the new carb on and see what happens.

The re-con carb I bought of ebay but I actually haven't looked at the internals as I assumed it would all be new. Will look at that today as well
