[Mgs] 72 mgb

[Robert's New iPad]

	Timing, as it is so easy to check, is first.
	Then, have a go at the starting circuit of the car’s HIFs.  It should start immediately with appropriate amount of choke for the temperature. 
	Starter fluid is a desperate tool for desperate needs. MGBs should never need it except during an Arctic winter.
