Hi All !!
I'm new to the list, but have actually been here for a while. Lots of
great info and fun. Now I need a bit of "MG expertise"!
Problem: '74 Midget. Won't start. Turns over and acts like it's
trying, but just hasn't enough oomph. Had the head done, drove it home
(four blocks) and hasn't started since. Here's what I've already
done/checked ..... what's next???
New plugs, gapped right (second set); new plug wires, all correctly
aligned on the distrib cap. Starter replaced, works great. Battery
new, fully charged, new cables, clean terminals, connections good.
Coil, CB points, condenser all replaced (seem to be okay), gaps and
connections good, current at the points and coil is good. Rechecked and
reset the valve clearances. Pulled the distrib and realigned the drive
dog correctly (it was out about a notch). Just for grins and giggles I
replaced the radiator and put in a new stereo and speakers, thinking it
would make sooth the beast .. no such luck.
So where do I go from here??? Thanks for the help!
