No joy in Mudville…

Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
But there is no joy in Mudville — mighty Jack has struck out.

The MG is back together…   I spent most of the weekend working backwards, being careful to use all the parts that I had extracted.   With the final bolt in place it was time to give her a whirl…   It wants to start,  it just wont kick over...

Back to the drawing board next weekend.

The good news is that she isn’t overheating I guess…

  2. - do check that gas is getting to the carbs - requires disconect of line at carbs and seeing gas flow out (catch with coffee can) when pump is running.
    - check timing
    - check distributor cap - that the wire going to/from coil has great contact in distributor and in coil - sometimes they get loosened when you are working on them
    - don't get discouraged, we'll get it

  4. After Sep 28th, might we consider scheduling a tech session at your place ... maybe a handful of us get together and troubleshoot the starting issue.

    we can work on a date together to get more folks.
