I did a quick replacement with a used one I found at a show, it was for a later year (71+) as it didn't have the horn button. I'm not sure if this is all coincidental or not, all my fuses are ok and in tack. The battery has been going dead, the ignition key buzzer goes off when the driver's door is opened even without the key left in. And the tach has stopped working awhile ago, I think around last fall when I had the initial issue. Today the signals just stopped working also. I just ordered the correct signal lever with the horn button, but curious as to what to take a look at first?

It sounds the buzzer whenever the driver's door is opened with the keys in. If you are saying the male part is inside the female part, then the male part must have become detached from the switch somehow. PaulH. ----- Original Message ----- > ...

As I'm turning into the on ramp for the Freeway about a mile and a half from home, the accellerator pedal goes to the floor. I pulled to the side, and popped the hood. The throttle cable snapped at the linkage. I figure there is enough leeway to hook it back up, and the throttle might be a little high. So I start working on that, and the highway patrol comes. So I told him that the throttle cable snapped.' 'What's that?' Just a mechanical cable. I can fix it. 'How long will it take?' Just 5 minutes I'd say. 'Ok, I'll wait in the car to give you more visibility." Ok thanks. So I hooked it up, seems fine. I go tell him that I'm ready to go. I start up, and 'idle' is 4500. Joy. I can't back out, so I have to get on the Freeway and go up 3 miles and then come back home on the side roads. The Freeway is bumper to bumper, 20-50 mph. So I get to speed, and turn off the ignition, push in the clutch and coast. Turn it back on as traffic speeds up, etc. I thought about pulling into a parking lot, and adjusting the throttle shafts but figured I could make the 4 miles home. Back roads back home goes fine, all it well. And I can work from home today. Not what I was planning, but should be fine. I've found a good thick bicycle brake cable, that looks new. I should be able to use it.

Priceless.... Dan D '76B, '65B Central NJ USA ________________________________ From: Paul Root To: MG List Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2014 12:04 PM Subject: [Mgs] road side repair fun This morning, it was raining, but with 4 cars and 4 drivers and 4 places to be at the same time; I drove the MG. As I'm turning into the on ramp for the Freeway about a mile and a half from home, the accellerator pedal goes to the floor. I pulled to the side, and popped the hood. The throttle cable snapped at the linkage. I figure there is enough leeway to hook it back up, and the throttle might be a little high. So I start working on that, and the highway patrol comes. So I told him that the throttle cable snapped.' 'What's that?' Just a mechanical cable. I can fix it. 'How long will it take?' Just 5 minutes I'd say. 'Ok, I'll wait in the car to give you more visibility." Ok thanks. So I hooked it up, seems fine. I go tell him that I'm ready to go. I start up, and 'idle' is 4500. Joy. I can't back out, so I have to get on the Freeway and go up 3 miles and then come back home on the side roads. The Freeway is bumper to bumper, 20-50 mph. So I get to speed, and turn off the ignition, push in the clutch and coast. Turn it back on as traffic speeds up, etc. I thought about pulling into a parking lot, and adjusting the throttle shafts but figured I could make the 4 miles home. Back roads back home goes fine, all it well. And I can work from home today. Not what I was planning, but should be fine. I've found a good thick bicycle brake cable, that looks new. I should be able to use it. Otherwise, I can take the wife's car to work and Quality Coaches tomorrow. _______________________________________________ Mgs@autox.team.net Donate: Archive: Unsubscribe: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/mgs/d_dibiase@yahoo.com _______________________________________________ Mgs@autox.team.net Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Unsubscribe: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/mgs/mharc@autox.team.net From mgs-bounces@autox.team.net Fri Aug 22 11:19:17 2014 Return-Path: Delivered-To: mharc@autox.team.net Received: from autox.team.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8D3782580B2E for ; Fri, 22 Aug 2014 11:19:17 -0600 (MDT) Delivered-To: mgs@autox.team.net Received: from pacmmta55.windstream.net (pacmmta55.windstream.net [162.39.147.221]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7203925808AC for ; Fri, 22 Aug 2014 11:19:12 -0600 (MDT) Received: from [127.0.0.1] ([72.172.29.171]) by pacmmta55.windstream.net with pacmmta55 id htKr1o00L3hWxwQ01tKsxJ; Fri, 22 Aug 2014 13:19:53 -0400 a=lpGf7q7wmV/krcKoFvws7g==:117 a=lpGf7q7wmV/krcKoFvws7g==:17 a=o2QoyYduAAAA:8 a=tcnv99F1KMcA:10 a=wteLgPMeZLMA:10 a=DvGTheoafRUA:10 a=We2GSUcPNccA:10 a=fOpwdquTRaQA:10 a=8nJEP1OIZ-IA:10 a=Ov22w-J6AAAA:8 a=1oYqs76IrPgNLa7i6BUA:9 a=wPNLvfGTeEIA:10 a=H18lnE449NkA:10 a=riS0wvHjZ8EA:10 Authentication-Results: pacmmta55.windstream.net ; auth=pass smtp.auth=ccrobins@ktc.com Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2014 12:19:44 -0500 From: Charley & Peggy Robinson Organization: Computer Helpers User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/24.6.0 To: MG List References: Subject: Re: [Mgs] road side repair fun Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Errors-To: mgs-bounces@autox.team.net Will have to add, "Inspect throttle/choke cables for fraying at at carb linkages." to my checklist while servicing my B.
