Hi george, welcome to the club! Your symptoms do sound like fuel starvation (loss of power). But backfiring can also be caused by too rich a fuel mixture (for instance caused by a stuck choke on a wa

George, this reminds me of a problem I has with an 83 Blazaer. The charcoal canister clogged and the car would have the running problems that you described. I bought a canister from the junkyard and

I disregarded the "odd looking" linkages and hoses because the car is a Midget. I figured maybe they are supposed to be a bit different from the B and BGT configurations we are accustomed to. But the

Congratulations on a beautiful looking MG. You are correct in your assumption about the fuel filter. You need to hook up the missing hose to the open end of the filter. That should solve the no runn
