Hi everyone. This is my first submission to MG Owners since this is my
first MG.
I bought a Teal Blue 1973 MGB GT a couple weeks ago and have already put 500
miles on it. It had been pretty much sitting for the past two years in a
garage with an occasional drive. It had 71,400 miles on it when I bought
it.
I do have a question that I am hoping someone can help my with. I was
driving home yesterday and the car just died. I tried starting it but no
fire. I could hear the fuel pump running, but no spark. I let it sit for
about 20 minutes and tried again and it sprang to life. Is this a coil
problem?
Once on the road again the tachometer and the temperature needles would
starting moving from normal to zero and back up again intermittently. For
one moment to tact read zero, the next 3500 rpm. What is going on? Is my
voltage regulator shot? By the way my fuel gauge doesn't work so it always
reads E.
Thanks for your help.
