With the work you did, I would recommend bleeding all the brakes. In fact, if you haven't replaced the fluid recently, I would replace it all. Why? Brake fluid absorbs water. Water will eventuallly a

A little late. :-) I did just the fronts. All I had fluid for. It was the first time I used the EZ-Bleed. It worked well for me. I do need to do the backs. Probably in a couple of weeks. I'll do the

When the engine is running try giving the tach a sharp rap. The prior symptoms indicate the needle is sticking to the end-stop, or some similar stickness internally. You could get it rebuilt, or poss

I looked under the hood. I broke a wire (white/black?) off the coil. It came back to life when I got it touching. I got to secure it right, but I'm in the middle of painting the garage floor so, it's

The white/black is the signal from the coil to the tach so this is almost certainly the cause of your problem. However you may still have the slight sticking that you had before. /// or try http://ww

I remember that from my 72. The 77 is built into the MC on the bottom. In bleeding you're supposed to back it out 3 turns or something, and then bleed the front (closest) first and proceed "backwards

In addition to my MG hobby, I am also heavily into the aquarium hobby. I have found, with some very cheap aquarium supplies, you can make your own bleeder. Aquarium stores sell a small check valve th

I would stay away from the Mityvac. It sucks the fluid ok but is difficult to bleed the air out. The air gets in around the threads of the bleeders no matter how little you open them. ...Art

There are all sorts of ways to bleed brakes. One last-resort method that I use is to pump the fluid into the bleeder, and have it come out at the top of the system. This method works on hard-to-bleed
