I tried to start my 77 MG this morning for the first time in a month. It
wouldn't fire at all. Checked for spark and it wasn't getting any. I popped
the distributor cap and everything looked fine except the button in the
center appeared to be pushed in a bit too far. I pulled on it and the button
and spring came out. It felt slightly oily so I cleaned it and stretched the
spring slightly to give it a bit more tension. After reinstalling it the
car fired right up. I have had trouble starting this car in cold weather for
a couple of years so maybe this will solve the problem. This was a quick
easy fix for an annoying problem.
