[Spridgets] Trying to start up the old MG

[derf]

Strange.  There are two similar threads running on both the Spridget
list and Miatapower mailing lists.
The Miata guy got his started by squirting a little Marvel Oil in the
plug holes and cleaning the battery terminals.
I'm sure you can get that thing going pretty easily.  The old A-Series
motor is basically a tractor motor.

Get spark first, then fuel.  You can always feed a little fuel into
the carbs like Frank described.
