- Mini started losing power on and off, then just stalled like no gas, had to call Jeffro to bring some gas, checked for water in gas, checked we had enough fuel, checked ignition... See if you know right off what the issue was. NO CHEATING

My wild guess was spark (somehow). I was definitely surprised. Poor Mini :D
Sounded like voltage sag, so ya maybe distribution issue
Had a 87 mighty max do this on my way home. Not sure how it happens or understand why it does.
Im only 4:53 second in but ima guess you left that new jet/ enrichment thing open!? Gonna finish watching now. Ill edit comment. I was wrong. Rotor it was. Strange! Also never had that happen to me. But ill tell ya whay if it is made in china its crap!!
Just did a cam chain in my kx250f and i figures whats the point of a 30$ gasket so i got a caltric 10$ stator gasket and it would leak. So i reused the old one and its fine! Chinese cant even make a good gasket. Its a shame
😁
Probably just bad parts….damn knockoffs🤬🤬🤬🤬
I'm not sure I think that rotor was OEM, when I ordered the cap I assumed it came with the rotor because I looked at so many different ones online ended up just the cap. Now I do believe like I said in a video one of them should have a spring on it to contact the other and neither one does so I ordered a cap and rotor so let's see. Yes eBay again.... But at least I'll have something on there and I can order an OEM part and wait a month or whatever
Paused at 9.00 My guess would be the intake manifold gasket ! Welp I was wrong but ill keep it in mind if i run into an odd issue like that! :)
yes but it was a old points system and i the condenser came loose and hit it . and one time the cap moved just a little and it caught and hit. maybe your cap was loose and moved. but i am 3 days older than dirt so i have seen a lot. i mean Adam was made from the last load of dirt i hauled in for God to build the earth. with my horse and chariot .
Ahh, the cap was definitely tight and seated well when I took it off though
@@MotoCheez it looked tight on video. but videos sometimes aren't what they seem to show. so check the shaft and see if it moves in or out. but it also just might have been a bad button.
@MadsWorld34 shaft is tight. I believe it needs spring on rotor or cap... Maybe because mismatched
Can you get an electric distributor for these? Upgrade time?
It has an electron recognition, are you talking about a distributor list ignition? I don't know what that would cost but I'm sure there is something and then add fuel injection!
Either timing or distributor. Time stamp 11:00
Great road side repair cheez! Regular Macgyver!
Thanks!
Is that black side box factory? I don’t remember if there is a video on it
I made it out of an old electric box a little after I bought mini when I started mods
Thought for sure it was going to be a fuel issue. If I had a nickel for every time I had to replace my cap (usually from a crack in the side from over tightening) by the side of the road in my 1977 Datsun B210 I'd have about a dollar. Never did have to replace the rotor though - I only replaced that with wires and plugs.
Well, that was weird. I'm gonna use genuine Daihatsu parts, and keep the old parts as spares!
When I was in college, the vacuum advance on my 1972 SuperBeetle crapped out while my friends and I were going camping. I used a small round head machine screw as the bearing under the vacuum advance plate. I drove it like that for another 60,000 miles and then gave the car to my younger brother. He removed the women's bowling trophy that I had installed as a hood ornament.
Another time, my SuperBeetle died on the way to go camping and the girl I was camping with diagnosed the clogged fuel filter about two seconds after I did. I probably should have married that girl!
Good work, damn yeah. You let that one go!
Red Green would be proud !
I thought ignition module. Wouldn't have guessed that. Never heard of a rotor breaking like that.
Cheesy I’m going the rant ……. Get rid of the sh17 in your cab ….. AHHHHHHH!
Still love the videos …..
the dissy breaking could be dew to the water making mini back fire …. Maybe??
But my bigggy rant is …. Even here in Ireland you’ve cause the mini truck explosion….IN PRICE!!!!
Still love the videos ….
Do you post to Ireland? Want me a leather key tag….
What is an SH-17? Yeah the prices are up here too.
I used to ship to Europe until about 2 years ago they raised a price of shipping up to almost 20 bucks so I stop adding that option because it's pretty high. But if you win one I do send them! Or if you wanted to pay that ridiculous shipping
Jumped time
Fuel filter
Cheap Chinese ebay dizzy? What could go wrong? Stick with Japanese original. I converted my Suzuki Carry to Chinese electronic points, failed after 2 years, glad I kept original in the car..
Yep, but I ordered again off eBay to get something here. Cap and rotor...
Had a 71 mustang I also converted years ago that failed on me too, kept points in glove box too luckily.
Sadly most today wouldn't know what points are 😁
Either its no spark or a fuel issue,had a Dodge colt that would break point arm.
Aw poor mini
I’m sure you’re gonna find plenty of metal at Jeffro’s. Not funny when Minni broke down but you starting to get mad and cursing was. OMG EBay. Bad distributor cap yes.
🤣👍
👍Parts can just wreck your day I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS…..💥💥💥
Thanks!
Getting invaded on both borders eh,them dang Canadian geese and southern border,you know that story.
I'm guessing the rotor in the distributor. Happens all the time in the old carbureted big block Chevy's.
Yes!! But those old HEI ignitions would blow a hole through the rotor, that was a hard find in the day, I did have that happen to me.
Cheap-ass eBay parts! Good roadside fix though.
Sure sounds like weak/no spark. ( Wow, never seen that coming, but I guess I would have got there. Definitely sounded like a spark issue.)
Broke down in Atlanta once right on 75. Had the tools to replace the serpentine belt and idler while the cops stood guard. They even drove me to the parts store for the parts. I love the police, and America.
Awesome they did that
Nice. An easy fix. I'm usually pleasantly surprised when or if I get a lucky break. It doesn't tend to happen that often. Didn't mind seeing Mini put the boots the that box truck either. Should've stopped and gave him a few self tappers to put his doors back on after they got blown off.
😂🤣
wut up cheezzy ??
Same old! HBU?
@@MotoCheez same same ! :D
I figured it was the cap and rotor. (That’s exactly how mine died, fake running out of gas, then fine for a while, back fires, then just stone dead.)
Like Jefro, I assumed mine was jumped timing.
I pulled the cap to look, and the contacts looked like tiny pieces of chalk….
The broken rotor on yours was a new twist, I’ve never seen that before…..I bet against that working…..
Dayum
@@MotoCheez Check your spam folder for a link. It’s got video of my cap. (But at least my rotor wasn’t broke, so I guess I win.)
Never seen or heard of that happening. I was sure it was the timing belt.
I'm 53 can't afford a bike but I wanna start ring. Am I too old or no!just a Chinese 250?
You're never too old! These are great bikes to learn on, I'm 57
I thought it was a spark plug or coil. I dont think i woulda figured this out of the side of the road. good job
Aha! Fuel pump? Timing belt? Loose distributor bolt, did it rotate?
2nd... Kinda close
I blame global warming, everyone else does...Take care of yourself Cheezy. Lovin' my Jansno X50. Especially since I closed the damn controller box hole so I can at least drive in strong humidity let alone rain...lol. I even had to make a whole damn video on it so no one get screwed over. I've been driving motorcycles for 40 years I ALWAYS stop if a bike or a car is broke down. That's why I carry an ok amount of tools with me. Most times it is something simple, like they may think they have gas but go up a hill or something and the fuel line runs dry, etc.
🤣😂👍👍 you too
That hole definitely in a bad spot
Stopped the video. I’m guessing a clogged fuel filter or something related to fueling due to not driving too much.
First time I’ve ever seen that break.
Right!? First for me too
I can honestly say I would have never guessed that was the issue.
You digging in your glove compartment reminds me of my grandma digging in her purse for that old stale piece of gum with the wrapper stuck to it.
Bahaha! 😆
Mini just got tired of your paying attention to those ebikes you been buying and testing and she was feeling a bit neglected and jealous.
Very probable
@@MotoCheez does Mini have a timing belt or chain?
@vharrald belt
@@MotoCheez you might wanna keep an eye on that as well Moto... Especially having a turbo on Mini
Definitely going to keep an eye on that, a timing belt was done about 20,000 km ago so I should be good for a little while. I'm not sure how much of any a supercharger will put on a timing belt
Never had that happen but seen where people dry cap with starting fluid and dont let it evaporate and hit the key ..... Just like a grenade going off lol
Haha YEP!
Good friend
For sure
Low key high key ordering another eBay rotor rn as a spare for the glove box :)
I did order a new rotor and distributor off eBay 😅😂
Holy cow that was nuts. I have never seen that. I thought fuel filter :)
I thought fuel related too!
It happened to me the cap was crooked…my fault 😱😱😱😱😱
This was tight and flush so I don't understand why, unless the rotor or the cap should have a spring on it which I would imagine one or the other should
I felt disappointed I didn't go to lunch with you guys! Lol
I gotta get a life.
Yeah man
you will soon have two problems , fix it and then start it, or you will have a flat battery.
Yep
MINIEEEEEEEE NOOOOHHHHHHHHH .... meep meep .
I have an AT pro and a teknetics. I’ll be down to do some metal detecting lol. 😂
Hell yeah
Ignition control module?
My guess is "user error" lol
😅😂👍
Does it have an ignition coil?
Yes
@@MotoCheez I had an old vw that died on me like that turned out to be a coil going bad (maybe that was about 20 years ago)
The cob shop commander to the rescue. I never had the electrode break off but I have had my share wiping out distributors caps on wet days. From my old 66 Chevy to my 53 Harley hydro glide. But with mini I also thought gas or filter
Peace taken from the Earth after the Eclipse
Air, fuel, spark. You have air, and fuel..... that's means spark is the issue. Start at the plugs and work back.
Had that happen on my old ford ranger took me 3 days to figure it out cause it would start and die i had changed out the cap and rotor a month earlier
Definitely a tough diagnosis!
First here Tonight
Well I didn't have that on my Bingo card
😁👍👍
rotor button
nailed it
😁👍
I have had caps go, but not break.
I've had the old HEI Chevy ignition blow a hole in rotors, but never seen one broke
YAYYYYYYYYYYYY
my jag just had this exact thing happen a month ago!!! Almost led to the fabled "Marelli Meltdown". 6 cylinders were dumping fresh fuel right into the molten catalytic converter while cruising. The ignition was cutting out intermittently just like your Mini so I was trying to limp it home, I didn't think it was loss of spark because I assumed since the tachometer was working my coils were good, but didn't stop to think it was the ROTOR! since the rotor was broken in half inside the distributor, half the cylinders still got spark, I simply unplugged the fuel injectors going to the affected bank of cylinders and slowly mopped on home to swap out the part the next day.
Damn! Good call on that one. Saved the cat!
💪💪
Good friends are so hard to find. Great diagnosis.
Very true
No spark
Nice to have good friends.
Most definitely
Didn't have a clue...
😂🤣
First here
Yes, 1st!
Beep
Meep
I had a similar issue in my driveway. Crank and crank and crank but no start. When I was testing my spark plugs at the distributor, I got a shock and noticed that 2 were arcing together. Turns out the wires were bent at such an angle that the boot was no longer snug and some current was escaping through there. I sealed it up with some silicone tape and it solved it 100%.
Awesome roadside repair. I’m glad it got resolved.
Wow, original the old cap was arcing across outside like it absorbed moisture even on a dry day
@@MotoCheez I forgot to mention….all this only happened in the rain! The water was making the arc conduct even easier! Now I make extra effort to seal all connections and put dialectric grease wherever I can.
@BRIDGEBURNERSTV it did the same on original cap, but it got to the point it did it when it was dry too, that's why I changed the cap
That's Crazy !
Wow, I'd never have checked the distributer, sounded like fuel starvation all day long, good find and a better roadside repair! Old mini truck proverb say, to fix old-school, first you must think old-school!
I had my Suzuki carry cut out with a half tank of fuel, left me stranded on the side of the road, turned out to be a vacuum operated fuel tank vent, the vac line supplying it had split, and with no venting I was running lean to starvation. The big clue was the diff lock wouldn't work (low vac) and the other massive clue was when opened the tank, there was a massive pull of air into the tank.
Thanks for the great content on these mighty machines 👍
True, must think old-school. Those vacuum issues and poor gas venting can be tough to trace. Motorcycles w bad vents always throw people off
Glad it ain't nothing major! She's just upset that she still hasn't visited the sunshine state yet.😂lol
😂🤣👍 probably right
ITS defitinly the giggle pin.
😂👍👍
