Your right TerriANn, my TR3 has been running like $&*# for the last
few months espesially in stop and go traffic. I've been looking all
over the ignition for the problem even replaced the battery then
last week an MG post gave me a clue. Someone had put an electric
fuel pump on a B and was haveing fuel pressure problems. Onle look
down the throat of my rear carb and there it was GAS trickleing
in even with the engine OFF> Of course the car was flooding out
while it was RUNNING! Now I know I need a fuel pressure regulator.
THANKS LIST!!!!
Now a question: It would seem that the higher pressure from an
electric fuel pump is too much for the neele valves in the
float chambers of the SU's. Would GROSS JETS be better at
shutting off the higher pressure fuel or should I get a
regulator???
