Was thinking of selling my Morgan after needing another repair.
Last July "The Carrot" starting making a knocking noise after warming up that we couldn't figure out if it was the engine or a transmission problem. We looked all over the engine and into the cylinders but found nothing unusually so we took out the engine and transmission to split them apart. Still nothing found so I ordered a clutch package from Morgan West again but it sat apart for just about a year waiting to be rebuilt. (I got super busy at work)
While waiting I told the wife I would sell her (Morgan) if I could buy a replacement now. I bought an Ariel Adam 3s as the replacement.
We finally got the Morgan transmission rebuilt and reinstalled the package back into the Morgan body. We fired it back up and the noise returned so it was off the Motorcycle Shop that upgraded my motor from 121CI to 128CI. There they found two valves loose and made the adjustments so now she is running great.
We also added a oil cooler with a manual fan switch along making two bumperette that have amber LED running lights mounted to them.
(pictures to follow)
so now I have two topless machines in the garage.
The Fast and Go Ariel Adam 3s and The Slow and Go Morgan.
Guest which machine I'd rather drive now, The Morgan is still more fun than anything else! The GOOD wife says I can keep both now!
She's a keeper.
