How can i get in touch with you guys?! I need a 1275 morris minor engine.

Look, the 650SS was basicly a 600SS with a longer stroke crank. If you want to know what it is, lift the head off measure the stroke. I suspect you could just drop a 650SS crank into a 600SS motor and you are good. Maby the factory did this, maby some guy like me in my garage. The carbs on your bike are Mk1 concentric not Monoblock. That tells you nothing. As Monoblock wore out you automaticly replaced them with Concentric which were easier to adjust. I run 2 nortons, a concours 650SS 1963 and A 1964 750 . Café racer production race tuned. The Norton motor is simple and it is easy to swap parts between models. Let me give you an example. I took a 1949 Model 7 500cc that was rusting in a garden, dropped in a 750 crank, 750 barrels, sphered and gas flowed the head out to 32mm carbs. Nobody could understand how a 1949 500cc bike could drag the lights against Japanese 4s

I have a 63 650SS and a 64 Atlas. From what I could see you have A Lucas K2F magneto so you don't need a battery to start. You have Amal concentric Carburetors, not standard for 63 but they work very well on my 64 Atlas. Set the airscrew at 1 and a half turns, play with the slider height, play with the choke slider. I don't actualy use a choke slider in the concentric, but that is on a race tuned engine. Probably your biggest problem is that Norton Twins Wet Sump. If left for more than a week oil drains from the Oil tank through the rotary oild pump and fills up the crankcase with oil. Then, when you try to kicfkstart you are fighting against oil. Crank turns slowly, magneto turns slowly, poor spark, knackered leg. If not used recently drain the crankcase via the BIG drain plug at the bottom of the case. The bike will start easier, believe me. Either ride it once a week or drain the sump.

Get it street legal but leave the body as it is love it ❤🔧⚓🤠 JB

You aren’t on the centreline

I just went there

Is that a Aplus engine 1275 ?

Well done mate that looks a great job,keep the front trunnion and pedal shaft well lubed

Valve Guides . . not Sump.!

When I was 16 in 1963 we were based at RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus. Friends with older RAF guys one of whom had a 650ss. Loved it, but my own biking started with a Yamaha yds3 and wonderful Triumphs a new 1968 T100T followed by new Tridents, T150 and later a T160….VFRs CBR 1000 and last bike back to Triumph with a Hinkley Trident 😃Happy Days.

Could be a 650 top end

Thanks for the video!! I have the same shifter but need to replace the inner part where it shows the gears ,.. know where I can buy that?

A shame to be selling after all the work, hopefully the Morris Minor will now get much needed attention! Has the aluminium been clear-coated or is it a case of regular polishing? Looks great! Thanks for sharing!

That's my wedding car

A fitting tribute, I hope the new owner has as much fun in it as we had.

@anotherpieceofskrap27 Hello mate, I found out today that I actually own your old Mazda MX5 NB :) I uninstalled the soft top today as I never intended to use it and it was making a knocking sound whilst driving, after putting the soft top up for the first time in what looked like a very very long time, I saw your KZbin sticker! Went back in the video history and low and behold, there's my car!!! If you're around in the south west / Devon / Somerset area if you wanted to we could meet up so you could see the car again, I'll even take ya out for a drive in it. :) It's had a lot of work done to it in the last year or so (during my ownership) thought you might be interested in hearing about it seeing what resulted :D

thats a simulation

turn the brightness down on those instruments holy

Looks like it was a bt van at one time.

Your lucky there guys you even have the beep or inteligent alarm backup that works.

Thanks Paul. It Needed some adjustment to make it fit.

That's coming on nicely

Thanks for the upload guys. I’m sure however you do the moggy it’ll be a good fix. 👍🇬🇧

I think the only bit on the chassis that will need repairing is on the near side under the passenger door if my memory serves me well from when I owned it, be nice to see it back on the road

I prefer the Tracy Chapman version but oh well! What’s up with the VW?

Looking forward to it!👍🇬🇧

O dear 😢

Looking good mate

Err, can we have a video on the Morris van please??

Well, hopefully, that might inspire Marc to get on with his car, although, if he got it roadworthy, to turn up in it to an event like that, it would probably be the star attraction, rat-look always seems to attract attention! Some very nice cars there, thanks for sharing!

Lovely David Brown!

Brilliant video!👍🇬🇧

600’s are faster. Tongue in cheek.

This can’t be real?

Lovely bikes. I like Yamahas. When I was 17 in 1987 I had a lovely RD125lc. I’ve had two of them. 👍🇬🇧

Love the bike, my first ever custom. Will get round the given it a clean and some tlc. Thanks for watching.

Needs a cleaning. But its cool. Pride and joy i take it? Nice .

A bit of sticky back plastic it will be fine

A little bit of assembly required

Looks like a big job!👍🇬🇧

Some lovely cars there. That blue mk1 escort is a dream car. 👍🇬🇧

Looking at the bulkhead colour i would guess it might has been a British Telecoms van when new , we had one of the ex Bt vans on our farm when I was a kid , it was called Buttercup . Finally met its end when the local milk tanker hit it on the lane by our farm .

That's my wedding car ❤

How about going for the 1952 Morris Oxford which is just a big version of the Minor..A wonderful car and also built in India for many years.

Is that for the American van? Happy new year to you all. 👍Brian.

But guys hasn’t the back of the van been changed? It’s got windows now but it didn’t in the photo?!

Hey guys where’s the Morris minor van?? Liking your channel by the way!👍👍brian

Hay you guys, I just found your channel, and this was a year ago, but it was said that you were going to do the bodywork first then the engine etc, did you do it?

I’m 53 and I LOVE Morris minors! I’m going to enjoy this channel now I’ve found you guys!👍🇬🇧brian
