HELP BROKEN DOWN BY ROAD SIDE

[DJ635]

HELP! driving my mini just now and hit a pothole and the engine slowly died
there is no leaks from below and the engine turns over so has power
i fitted a K&N filter last week but have had no problems


have some basic knowledge but need you help asap !!

[mat13]

Has the bump knocked a battery cable off? Or loosened a HT Lead or your distributor?

[DJ635]

the engine turns over so think not battery ...

[DJ635]

HT Lead or your distributor maybe but got my haynes book out ... any other suggestions

You're mad being out this late in a classic Mini.

Are you still running points on the dizzy? (How classic is it?)

[DJ635]

It looks like the last owner bought a "fuel boy" and it could have been bad timing as I hadnt seen it in the boot until tonight 12.21 am so it might be that ?
if it is its bad timing 100% to coincide with the pot hole !!??

hadnt need to fill up since purchase DHO!
ill keep u updated
