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
