Good Day List,     I have a 79 MGB LE, all original, which has been garaged
last 7 years.  When it was shut down,  it would start, but only rev to approx.
2000 rpms, then begin to sputter.  I have now rebuilt the stromberg and am
getting ready to attempt to fire it up.  Before I do so, is there something
else that would  cause these symptoms that I should be looking at?  Also,  I
have heard or read somewhere that I should inject "marvel mystery oil" into
each plug hole and let set overnite before attempting to fire it up.  Is this
recommended?  If so, how much oil?

Thanks and Safety Fast,

Tom
