Hey listers.....
Still in disbelief about this MGA that is now in my garage...
I finally got her started, it was in fact a low charge on the battery.
The only things that I cannot seem to get to work are the horn and the
turn signals. Without a good wiring diagram (do not have the manual yet)
I cannot find whether or not this is just a simple fuse or not. lights
and everything work, but not the turn signals. Any help would be great.
Also, I am going to rebuild the master cylinder this weekend. I have a
couple of questions:
1. Since the reservoir was left dry for so long, can I try to fill the
lines with fluid and bleed the clutch system. I am getting some pressure
on the brake pedal, but not on the clutch. Is the pushrod just not
pushing any fluid, and if so, why am I getting pressure on one side and
not the other. Do the cylinders share the same pressure or are they
separate systems?
2.I bought the rebuild kit from Moss. Any problems or things to be
careful of?
3. When I tackle the rebuild, what would be the general procedure? Any
pitfalls that I need to watch out for other than carefully laying out
all parts on a clean towel and labeling them accordingly?
4. What is the best way to blow out all of the lines. If I use
pressurized air, how can I attach the air to the brake/clutch lines?
5. Most importantly I need help with the basic rebuild procedure and the
knowledge of the wise ones who have done this before.
Thanks so much for all the help.....this list is like having a mechanic
in your back pocket.
BTW The SO is CRAZY about the MGA (a little more than the B) She is
already talking about how cool its going to be to take the A to her
Company picnic next summer. (I let her take the B by herself this last
picnic about a month ago.) Keep in mind, it was probably the 4th or 5th
time the car was on the road since the rebuild.
She had a blast and everyone (incl her boss who has a miata and thought
HE was cool driving IT to the party) drooled over the car.
Kinda cool to out-do your own boss every now and then.
I think the SO has contracted the MG VIRUS.
SHE's HOOKED and you know what??? I like it that way.
Thanks
