A friend has asked me to resurrect a 1978 MG Midget that has sat
un-used for a few years. His hope is to have a decent driver. It
appears quite rust-free and deserves to be driven.
MGA's I know. MGB's I know. But I've never owned a Midget. Any
gotcha's to be aware of?
My plan is to clean it up, change all fluids, fresh gasoline, adjust
timing & valves, rebuild the carb and the brake system (IMO a car that
won't start is inconvenient but a car that won't stop is deadly) and
give it a go.
It has the single S-Z carb. I'm not sure if it has an auto or manual
choke. I'd prefer a manual choke. Can the auto be (easily) changed to
manual?
Is there a better option for carburation - similar to back-dating our
'78 MGB to dual SU's?
