Wheels - I had the opportunity to buy a set of wheels that are said to be
off an MG. The wheels are 13", and look identical (except for the diameter)
to the Special Edition MGB wheels. I tried them on our '75 and the wheel
studs are too short. Question I guess is more for the vendors info than
mine, but was there ever a Special Edition Midget that had these wheels?
Carb - A while back I sent a post on the trouble I was having with the carb
on our '75 - I could not get the carb adjusted down enough to get a low
enough idle. After rebuilding the carbs (they really didn't need it as it
turned out), the idle can now be down in the proper range - the problem
seemed to be the carb bypass valve adjustment. However, now I cannot get a
consistent idle - sometimes it idles right on, sometimes too high (almost
2000 rpm), and sometimes so slow it stalls - this is all with the engine
warm and on the same drive. There does not seem to be any leaks in the
manifold. Any suggestions at what I should look at next (or re-look at
again?). The car is a fairly stock Canadian car, but has a non-electronic
distributor and the air pump is gone.
Also, does anyone have a good vacuum / emissions hose diagram for this car?
My '76 (yes, '76 for our '75) manual is not quite right, and the usual
suppliers catalogues are pretty good, but leave a little bit to the
imagination.
Thanks.
Bob
