[Mg-t] Back at it

[Richard Lindsay]

Hello Friends,

   Just sharing a few pictures. I've re-started work on the '53 TD. Here's
the story.

   Yes, today I restarted work on the '53 MG TD. Earlier you may have seen
a picture of the engine assembled. Here it is today with the air cleaner
removed.

   The front carburetor is on the bench, partially disassembled with
various bits in the ultrasonic cleaner (with hot water and Dawn Dishwashing
Detergent).

   While those parts were in the cleaner, I began soaking the totally
gummed up throttle. Its soaking in penetrating oil before going in the
cleaner.

   Here's the engine with the front carb off. As we all know, its important
to address one carb at a time since the parts are machined together, and
therefore, not interchangable.

   And that's where things sit this evening. I've only spent about an hour
on the engine, so far. Earlier, I cleaned the paint. Well, a preliminary
cleaning. It needs a good session with the clay bar!

   That's it.
