[Mgs] Traffic, was: List meltdown?

[Richard Lindsay]

Hi Friends,

Nice to see traffic here again. I guess we were all just napping a bit.

I just rebuilt the SUs on my TR3b and plan to tune the engine today. The
ignition is rock solid, powerful and beautifully times, thanks to a full
Pertronix distriburor. A bit of air balancing and air:fuel ratio testing
and setting, and the car will be back strong!

Okay, yes, this is an MG forum. My MG TD suffers the same malady as the
TR3b did: LCOS. 'That's Lazy Current Owner Syndrome'. I just let the car
sit unused for months and the fuel grew old, leaving gum in the SUs as the
volitiles preferentially evaporated. Like the TR3b, the jets no longer
move. They're gummed in place, leaving the 'choke' control inoperative.

Once the TR3b is back running and strong, I will move on to the MG. It too
has a Pertronix distributor. Timing is so consistant that the XPAG will
idle just fine at 500rpm, if set higher for better furure drivability.

And that's my update for an otherwise quiet forum.

Best regards,

-rick, in Houston
