I suspect you have accidentally miswired the VS. The VS only affects the Fuel and Water Temp gauges and should not be feeding (or affecting) any other gauges. -Rock http://www.rocky-frisco.com -- JJ

Right idea, wrong terminology. Chances are it was (is) a bit of something holding the float bowl needle valve open. Jets are in the carb body; needle valves in the float bowls. -Rock http://www.rocky

Hans, this usually means one of two things, sometimes a bit of both: 1. one or more diodes are going weak in the alternator. 2. There's a wonky connection somewhere in the charging circuit. I have ha

The actual timing of each cylinder is dependent on the distributor cam, under the rotor, unless you have converted to electronic ignition. I once had an optronic ignition blade begin to break off, so

That has been my experience on every MG I ever worked on. None of them had any sort of limiter to prevent this. The action of the clutch usually prevents the overthrow unless the clutch has gone bad.
