A few years ago I picked up a 1500 Midget, asked Qs and talked about it on this and the Spridget list for the year I was restoring it. No one bugged me a bit about it for all that time. Not only tha

Lessee, you say it push-started reluctantly, then smoothed out and off he went. Sounds like it might have been flooded. Carb(s) might have seeped gas in while it was sitting there during the meeting.

Mmmm, I had a '71 Datsun 1200 - also called the LB-110 - with the A-12 engine. That little engine was nothing like the MG 1800. It had all the flanges cast into the block - No plates on the ends IOW.

Any of the Z engines would have been an improvement over what came in the MGC,from what I've heard. I'd like to see the installation you heard about. All the L series engines were slant types, rememb

Did you replace the springs during the rebuild? If so, could it be that you used the wrong replacements? Also, did you let the car sit on it's front wheels before you tightened the wishbone pivot nut

Hi Eric, You'd better check the plug wires at the dizzy cap for the correct firing order. That's probably why it backfired. After that it sounds like the float valve on the rear carb isn't closing. H

Er, I don't understand, Bill. Couldn't you put in 20W-40 when racing and have the OD working immediately, then still have 40 weight when things are thoroughly heated up? TIA, CR

One must keep in mind that there is more than one RBB front spring. At least one is longer and stiffer. Do you remember a couple of years ago when I was swapping them around and measuring ride height
