Re: Conquest Drophead SU H6 Striker Pin

Hi David I have had a look at a spare piston and have measured the brass pin protrusion at 18 thou. I would not think this gap even if it varies will affect the slow running. It may have a very slight affect on the richness/weakness of the mixture but I doubt it. As has been said slow running is mai...

Re: Self cancelling indicators

Sorry about my previous post I was thinking of the earlier switch arrangement. Having looked at your photo again and a new switch I can now see that the plastic ring is to far forward. It should recess into the casting of the indicator switch by a couple of millimetres more. When the steering box wa...

Re: Self cancelling indicators

It is not the plastic thingy that causes the self cancelling. It is the flat on the adjustable metal ring that catches on the indicator pawls.
If the lumps of plastic did catch the pawls the indicators would go off at the slightest turn of the steering wheel.

Re: Conquest Drophead tickover

If you are convinced that the H6 carbs are set up and working correctly I would look at the spark plugs, distributer and ignition timing. Check that the engine is in fact firing on all six cylinders. If it is then check the automatic advance and retard on the distributer is functioning and that the ...

Re: LUCAS M418G Starter motor

The catalogue does not contain a assembly diagram for the starter motor it just shows pictures of all the individual parts for many starter motors. Below is a link to Ebay which another member posted and then removed for some reason. I think this may be what you are looking for. https://www.ebay.co....

Re: Daimler Conquest Starter Solenoid and other Question.

The battery terminal connections under the rear seat can cause this if they are the led lug type. Also worth checking the engine earth strap to the chassis. Should be near side around the engine stabiliser bracket If the solenoid has a rubber cap it can be pressed manually to check the starter motor...

Re: Daimler Conquest Starter Solenoid and other Question.

The glass slides in a felt covered U section fitted in the chrome surround it may be this U section that is stopping the window fully rising...
