Roadside  failures, I've had a few problems including the jet assembly  
rubber going bad and causing gas to drip on the muffler which is very  scary. I've 
got a hole in a float, so I put the  float on a stove at low heat, steamed the 
gas out, and fixed  it by sealing with JB Weld. Carb screen have become 
clogged, and  needles have become loose. 
 
Fuel pump, condenser, headlights, clutch, and coil have gone bad, I've  
knocked off the muffler several times, had 5 or more flat tires and wiring  shorts. 
Last year the gearshift rubber cover got a big hole so  I used the head of a 
toilet plunger to keep the heat out till I  got it replaced. I've never had to 
tow my Healeys in 37  years. Club members have saved me on several occasions. 
Hopefully you will publish your Tech Session materials for those that will  
not have the pleasure of hearing it live.
