Hi
My name is Trevor and I have just joined the forum.
I have a 1934 Morris 10/6 and am a member of the Morris Register.
If there is anyone out there with a similar car then I would be very interested in hearing from them as one of my "problems" is lack of power. Despite being a six cylinder engine it feels as if it has only four and one of those isn't working!
Regards to all
Trevor

Hi Trevor,

Welcome to the forum. Sorry, I'm not a Morris owner but if you turn the engine over on the starting handle how do the compressions feel? Do you get 6 nice bouncy bits of resistance or are some of them a bit soggy?

Peter

Hi Peter

Certainly no bounce - I am having the compression tested today (Ihope) so that may tell me a bit more.

Regards

Trevor
