It's a long way from Utah, but my friend Ken has three B's plus some extra parts at his online salvage yard, here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I do the web pages for him so I have seen the cars. He was hoping

Most American cars and some Imports have a second "ON" position, often the far side of the ignition ON, especially for the radio, etc. Neither my Mini nor my MG have this feature, so I just ran a wir

Check for rich mix. Pull on a tiny bit of choke; it should get much worse if it's a rich mix. Other possibility is a wonky connection somewhere in the ignition primary circuit, ground wire in distrib
