Subject: [Healeys] Champions(again)
spent saturday morning helping a club member get his MGB running correctly.
he had stated that it would not idle and he and some other MG owners had
tuned it up and had tried to adjust the carbs. it had been sitting a few
months so i cruised on over in the bn6 to check it out. i took my
compression guage and timing light as i suspected a burnt valve. took the
plugs out to do compression check and noticed they were new champions. my
suspicions were aroused, especially as the compression check was good.
started engine and it was running rough at high idle. plug wires had not
been replaced so decided to check plugs and wires by pulling each wire to
tests rpm drop. #4 no change. swapped #2 and #4 plug, now #2 no change.
suspicions confirmed. got set of NGK and installed them. all four
cylinders now firing. trash canned the champions, timed the distributor and
adjusted carbs. engine smooth as any 4 cylinder now. CAVEAT EMPTOR. hjim
