[Mgs] Distributor Cap Solution

[DMatt21502 at aol.com]

I tried to start my 77 MG this morning for the first time in a month. It  
wouldn't fire at all. Checked for spark and it wasn't getting any. I popped  
the distributor cap and everything looked fine except the button in the 
center  appeared to be pushed in a bit too far. I pulled on it and the button 
and spring  came out. It felt slightly oily so I cleaned it and stretched the 
spring  slightly to give it a bit more tension. After reinstalling it the 
car fired  right up. I have had trouble starting this car in cold weather for 
a couple of  years so maybe this will solve the problem. This was a quick 
easy fix for an  annoying problem.
