They provided a retrospective modification kit which was an electrically powered air solenoid valve that was plumbed into the intake manifold - switching off the ignition removed power from the solenoid and air flowed into the manifold, the mixture was weakened and it didn't run on. Sounds complicated (in relation to the remainder of the vehicle !) It's actually pretty easy. The biggest problem may be providing a suitable outlet in the inlet manifold if the car doesn't have a brake servo (many Minors have had one added) If it has you use a T piece and rubber tubing to the valve and then simply wire it up to the ignition. It is closed with the ignition on, open when off, so lets air in to stop the engine when you switch off. -- *All those who believe in psychokinesis, raise my hand * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
