Thanks Aidan....plenty there to read through and go check on..

When you say ''Selector shaft can be replaced insitu if you are careful'' what are the pit falls of removing it for a looksee ?

OK Mocki, thanks. I take from that, the suggestion is wear in the switch increases it's length causing more contact points.

Morning all, Hope you are all safe and well. Got a slight problem that was pointed out to me by a classic mini driver at a set of lights, and that is my reverse lights flicker on and off. I got under the van and the wiring looks sound so I tested the switch and that works as in it makes and breaks c...

Hi, you can use a liquid solvent like tamiya thin, the stuff you would use to make model kits with. Make sure it is thin like water and apply with a small brush, it should get drawn into the crack by capillery action, hold while it welds the plastic and dries. Or try either EMA model supplies or 4D ...

Hi Magicwagon How about moving the fixings from the side to top and bottom, so the door lifts up and off rather than swings. Can open while sitting in bed, and will look the same when closed.

Stoopid question but is the choke coming off? Mine broke and the choke flap wasn't attached to the mechanism. Regarding your question about coils....I had one breakdown on a M/C it was fine from start up but would show symptoms of fuel starvation, miss and fart about halfway to work, I couldn't work...

Hi, does the engine run well when cold? revs well in all gears? only plays up when warmed up??

Just trying to get it clear i my head.

I would look at the idle jet too. Had this happen about 4 times now. First time I was pulling my hair out (if I had any!) trying to sort it out. Now It's the first place I'd look.

Yep I agree. Broken tip. The leg of the white piece should come up between the metal tangs as in one of Mocki's pictures, and there was an adjustment tolerence
of, I think, 0.5 between the tangs and the tip, you could close it or open it with a pair of pliers.

Hi Mr Doom,

The gearbox guys are either Aidan or jebiga41. unfortunately neither are anywhere close to London, Aidan works out of Wales and jebiga41 is in Ireland.

They might be able to help or point you in the right direction.

good luck

While your here and talking Choke, How does your Flap look

What I mean is, Mine isn't vertical when off, never has been, and Van pulls very well, but always smells rich. Just wondering
if the slight tilt backwards is the norm or if a bit of tinkarage is required...
