<div dir="auto">Way to go Mark! Having worked on a few cars at other locations it isn't the most convenient situation but the feeling one gets, especially with a successful outcome, makes it all worthwhile. Plus it's down right fun and with time the negatives fade. Good on ya!</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Dave W.</div><div dir="auto">'59 :()</div><div dir="auto">'59 MGA 1500</div><div dir="auto">Burlington WI </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div id="composer_signature" dir="auto"><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757" dir="auto">Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S8, an AT&T 5G Evolution capable smartphone</div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div><br></div><div dir="auto" style="font-size:100%;color:#000000"><div>-------- Original message --------</div><div>From: Mark J Bradakis <mark@bradakis.com> </div><div>Date: 10/25/20 8:14 AM (GMT-06:00) </div><div>To: mglist <mgs@autox.team.net> </div><div>Subject: [Mgs] MGB success! </div><div><br></div></div>A while back one of the folks in the British Motor Club of Utah posted <br>on our Facebook page that he had some cars that needed attention. I <br>offered to assist. I had meant to write it all down, as to when I did <br>what, but of course I did not.<br><br>The car is a '73 MGB which hadn't been running for some time. Over the <br>course of the last few months I've driven the 25 miles to his place and <br>messed with it. If I still had a shop where I could have easily worked <br>on it whenever convenient for me it would have gotten done a lot <br>sooner. I currently am working graveyard, from 10 pm to 6 am. So going <br>up to Nick's place in the early afternoon is like the dead of night for <br>me. ZZzzzzz.<br><br>Anyway, we worked on getting it started. First off, no fuel to the <br>carbs. New fuel pump installed. Then too much fuel, needle valves not <br>closing. Carbs get taken off, I bring them home. It goes on for a <br>while, like an LBC game of Whack-A-Mole. Fix one problem, it brings to <br>light another. New coil, $200 on carb rebuild kit, new ignition switch. <br>Back and forth between ignition and carbs, always another gremlin <br>popping up.<br><br>Finally got close yesterday.<br><br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55cmBVIF7Pk <br><https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55cmBVIF7Pk><br><br>Still needs some tweaking and minor adjustments, but after at least a <br>dozen trips where I've headed home shaking my head in frustration, it <br>was nice to head back to Salt Lake with a smile on my face.<br><br>mjb.<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br><br>Mgs@autox.team.net<br>Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html<br>Suggested annual donation $12.75<br><br>Archive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/mgs http://autox.team.net/archive<br><br>Unsubscribe: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/mgs/dwoerpel@wi.net<br></body></html>
