GGDuff So far I only have heard from the following as having made reservations that are going to the above: Ann and Doug Lewis Sandy and Dave Maxwell Susan and Me Gloria & John Morrison Julie & Don McEligot IS ANYONE ELSE GOING? If you are planning on going I would advise making your reservations as I am afraid at Zion they will get away from you as they are not held and most of the other places are getting booked. Also please let me know if you are going and have made your reservations. Call: For May 21 The Abbey at Cedar City 435-586-9966 mention BAHC and the $67 rate For May 22 At Zion, The Mont Clair, 435-772-0266 mention the $116.96 rate and a sports car club, quoted by Brook From bdrr at msn.com Wed Apr 7 07:42:19 2010 From: bdrr at msn.com (Dion Dostaler) Date: Wed, 7 Apr 2010 07:42:19 -0600 Subject: [Bmcu] Hackers Message-ID: Apparently someone has gotten hold of my contact list.

VALVE In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: I have a valve http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=29123#top that I don't really know if it is bad. When it is idling it idles about 1500 rpm, but when I plug the hose that goes into the valve cover it drops to about 700. Is that normal? I've replaced the rubber diaphragm and that had no effect. I don't know if it's the Valve or a problem with my engine letting in air (not good, it's supposed to be sealed) Thanks Jeff Porter 67 TR4A with a fast idle.

It all started with replacing my fuel pump, which lead to the ignition coil burning out, the starter solenoid and fuse box needed to be resoldered. Most of these things were completely unrelated(as far as i can tell) they all just happened at the same time. My latest problem was with spark. The distributor wasn't working so i replaced the points and condenser. Ran fine for about 30sec and died. So we added a ballast resistor but that prevented it from stating at all. When we removed it again it ran for about 30 seconds and died. This time however we found that the blue plastic in the points had completely melted. My mechanic (who's been doing all of the work) is completely baffled as to what could be causing the points to melt, like this especially in such a short time. My mechanic set the points several times and he assures my that there are very few people as experienced/skilled as him with adjusting old mech ignition systems. Does anyone here have any idea what might be causing something like this. I've gone ahead and ordered an electronic ignition conversion kit, new coil, and spark wires from mini mania. I just wanted to check to see if anyone might recognize a problem so that i don't break something else when doing the conversion. -Dylan From spitfiresrule at msn.com Wed Apr 21 05:09:31 2010 From: spitfiresrule at msn.com (MITCH D JOHNSON) Date: Wed, 21 Apr 2010 05:09:31 -0600 Subject: [Bmcu] So how was the Saturday drive?

It all started with replacing my fuel pump, which lead to the ignition coil burning out, the starter solenoid and fuse box needed to be resoldered. Most of these things were completely unrelated(as far as i can tell) they all just happened at the same time. My latest problem was with spark. The distributor wasn't working so i replaced the points and condenser. Ran fine for about 30sec and died. So we added a ballast resistor but that prevented it from stating at all. When we removed it again it ran for about 30 seconds and died. This time however we found that the blue plastic in the points had completely melted. My mechanic (who's been doing all of the work) is completely baffled as to what could be causing the points to melt, like this especially in such a short time. My mechanic set the points several times and he assures my that there are very few people as experienced/skilled as him with adjusting old mech ignition systems. Does anyone here have any idea what might be causing something like this. I've gone ahead and ordered an electronic ignition conversion kit, new coil, and spark wires from mini mania. I just wanted to check to see if anyone might recognize a problem so that i don't break something else when doing the conversion. -Dylan _______________________________________________ Bmcu at autox.team.net Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/bmcu/duff_lawson at msn.com From adamant at xmission.com Wed Apr 21 09:30:39 2010 From: adamant at xmission.com (adamant at xmission.com) Date: Wed, 21 Apr 2010 09:30:39 -0600 Subject: [Bmcu] Distributor points melted (82' Mini) In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <20100421093039.cpjgc6kri0w004k8@webmail.xmission.com> I would get the old system working before adding an electronic ignition. The only time I have had points that look like they have melted was caused by the high tension circuit jumping across to the low tension. As I saw you had replaced the coil it might be that the HT does not have a good path to the plugs. If the Ht has to jump across a greater gap to ground than the spark plug itself, it will. Also even if the HT has jumped to the LT even just once then the condenser is shot and will need replacing. Hope that helps. Adam.

It doesn't seem to be a short (or the lights would have burnt out as well) The pump is a mechanical pump so no wires to speak of near it that might have been josseled. One theory that my mechanic has is possibly the alternator. but we can't really test the voltage on it until i get in the electronic ignition conversion kit (or new points). The yahoo answers suggesstion is worth checking out although it basically says that we need a ballast and adding ballast resistor is limits the current too much so that it doesn't spark. Also the coil is brand new so i'm not confident in that post (but i'll check it out none the less.

Park, Springdale, UT and driving home on Sunday May 23rd. We will likely meet at the Chevron Station where highway 6 and I 15 intersect at probably 10am. Some may wish to hook up somewhere and leave from SLC at 9am. IS ANYONE ELSE GOING? IF ANYONE ELSE DOESN'T SIGN UP BY FRIDAY I AM GOING TO ASSUME THIS IS THE FINAL GROUP AND MAKE OUR DINNER RESERVATIONS at Milt's Stage Stop in Cedar City on Friday and the Bit and Spur in Springdale on Saturday. If you are planning on going I would advise making your reservations as I am afraid at Zion they will get away from you as they are not held and most of the other places are getting booked. Also please let me know if you are going and have made your reservations. Call: For May 21 The Abbey at Cedar City 435-586-9966 mention BAHC and the $67 rate For May 22 At Zion, The Mont Clair, 435-772-0266 mention the $116.96 rate and a sports car club, quoted by Brook HEALEY DAYS As I think you know Healey Days will be on Saturday 7/31 with other things going on both Friday 7/30 and Sunday 8/1. There is a large group of softball players in town that week leaving on 8/1 so reservations are getting tight. Later today you will be getting the details of how to reserve your room at the Lodge at Park City Mountain Resort at a rate of $89 but they will only hold a limited block of rooms for a week without a credit card guaranteed reservation so please start thinking about your attendance and for how many nights. We also have reservations at the Grubsteak like last year for our Social hour, Banquet, awards, auction etc. so I will also need to know if you are going to be in attendance for that.

B Here is my question When I went to drive the car the other day, the brake/clutch reservoirs were empty (or at least nearly so).B I had filled them and bled the system about 4 months earlier after replacing the seals in the brakes and the rubber lines.B I did not do anything to the master cylinders, but the pedal seemed to be firm and everything was working fine.B So I added a bunch of fluid and was able to drive, the brakes were a little spongy, and the clutch didn't feel like it was totally disengaging without pumping, but I assume it just needs bled.

We more TR3s back on the road! Re your top: My old top is real tight as well, at this time I am still lacking an inch or two of being able to stretch over the support rods. My plan is to wait until a nice hot/sunny day and leave it outside to warm it up and then try to stretch into place. (WAIT, why am I putting the top up on such a nice day?) Not sure what is the proper procedure is, snap the top and slide the rods into place or the other way around, perhaps some other list member can chime in here as the owner manual doesn't really address this. Re your brakes: Fluid can't disappear so you have a leak somewhere that you have yet to discover. Now that you are legal and sure to be using the car more that once every four months I would re-fill and re-bleed everything to get all the sponginess and double-pumping out of the system. Then the first place I would look is the inside of the wheels to see if there is fluid stains on the inside of the tires, this would indicate a leaking wheel cylinder. Check under the dash, on the floor and around the MC area to see if there are and MC leaks. BTW, pulling and re-building the MC is not too bad a chore for an afternoon.

I have about 6000 into it now. I'm hoping to get like 4000 out of it. It has a new paint job, new seats and dash. Lots and lots of new stuff. If any of you remember seeing it at the grantsville car show it still looks like it did shining in the sunlight. Any way my wife and I are pretty worried about the job loss. Let me know if anybody is interested. Id like to see it go to a good home were somebody can appreciate it.

I want to go, but won't be coming if it is raining or snowing. My softtop is ripped, and I don't have the hardtop installed, not to mention I have never tried the sidescreens, but they don't look promising. -----Original Message----- From: bmcu-bounces at autox.team.net [mailto:bmcu-bounces at autox.team.net] On Behalf Of Keri Bruce Sent: Friday, April 16, 2010 1:59 PM To: 'bmcu at autox.team.net' Subject: [Bmcu] Around the lake run ** Check out http://britishmotorclub.org ** I have to apologize to everyone, tax day must of really rattled me, I need the relaxing drive!!!! Checker Auto is located at 315 W. 200 N. Those coming from the south, the exit is Kaysville (#328), turn right (East) and Checker Auto is on you right. >From the north take #328 and of course turn left. The meeting time is at 10:00 am for a 10:30 am departure. The weather still shows Eden to be 68 degrees and partly cloudy. I hope any one that wants to come on the drive and does not have their LBC ready feels welcome to drive anything they want and join the fun. Thanks for the understanding on my morning stress, being late for meetings and trying to send out a reminder on the "run" early enough to catch everyone. Thanks again Keri Keri D.

I'm hesitant now about getting out my MGB (am I crazy it's only an MG--right?), but I'm not sure I want to turn the underside of it into a salt lick. That said, I might just show up in my Honda CRV to see if anyone turns up. And, maybe if the roads really dry out by the end of Fri, I might be coaxed into going. If not, I'm up for making this a normal Saturday 9:00am meeting for any type of interesting car (not just British). So, for you brave souls who show up tomorrow--Bravo!
