All,

The continuing saga of the '77 MGB with the Weber downdraft:

Finally bit the bullet and purchased a new Weber downdraft on Ebay. Fitted 
it today. Running problem instantly cured. I have no idea what I missed when 
I dismantled and cleaned the old carb.

The replacement has a manual choke. Gone is the electric choke. No great 
loss, but has anyone on the list fit a cable to a Weber carb? What was used 
and how was it mounted?

Why anyone would buy a Weber for his street MG is beyond me. Fix the ZS or 
better still, fit twin SU's. Weber's are a PITA. Mounting one on your MG 
just to say "My car has a Weber(s)" is nuts. Simple and Workable beats 
Complex and Wonderful every time IMHO.

Thanks again to all who offered help and advice.

Ed Woods
