MG List, My 'B' will not start. The battery is good; I read 13 volts with key off and 10 volts while cranking. I replaced the battery terminals and ground cable with new (I have one 12 volt battery).

ACH...the trailer. Jesse, I had that exact symptom with my B prior to replacing the starting motor and with a prior car (chevette... no capitals but it ran and ran and ran). Your guess is, imho, good

Do you mean the wire from the negative on the battery to the frame of the car? If yes, I replaced it with new and sanded that little piece welded to the car. Jesse ref: Sounds like you are getting t

- - - - - - - - - - - - Nope. There is a grounding strap that connects from the engine block to the frame of the car. This allows the voltage to return from the engine. If that strap is missing or ba

On later B's, the ground strap goes from the 'frame' to the transmission crossmember. I'm only familiar with 77B's. Bud Krueger /// /// mgs@autox.team.net mailing list /// (If they are dupes, this t

Will this never end (don't worry about answering that - I*know* the answer). My 'new' SU fuel pump is playing up. It is doing the usual 'die just when traffic is heaviest' and just requires the oblig

The usual cause of rapid clicking of the solenoid is either a flat battery or bad connections in the heavy-current circuit. However I have had the same symptom even with a good battery and verified h

Bushes? I think you mean contacts. They can be serviced, but there could be something more fundamental if it is only that old. I'm sure someone will recommend an electronic SU (no points) but I could
