Welcome, Dave. We’ll do the best we can.

Thanks for chiming in, Cory. I forgot to remember if I asked you about that.And now that you’re a member of our little tribe, let me formally invite you to the First Annual All English Northern Delaware Drive-a-thon, Scotch Smelling and Yorkshire Pudding Toss. You get to come because you have a British accent.Follow Schu & Greg up if you can.

Hi, guys! Ed and Paul (and everybody else), it’s good to see you here! I’ve been looking around your site, and I’m glad to see the positive remarks about my car, Carlisle and the SOC guys. Thanks for that!
No, I didn’t buy a TD. I’m here to help with the float question.
I have a JAZ cell, with the foam in it, and I use an AutoMeter fuel…[Read more]

Done! We’ll see you there.

Ed,
Right now I am thinking of flat towing to your house and then driving around
from there w/ the TD. Since I would be flat towing the early dinner time is
not that big a deal. The MG show sounds like like fun as well – just email me
w/ your address and time I need to be at your house. I think Greg will be
coming as well the last time I spoke to…[Read more]

YEAHHH!

Update;
All legal,plates came in the mail yesterday(9/8)Looking forward to a long drive on saturday (9/10) 400+ miles.
Now to those interested Title reads;
1953 MG roadster,with a branding; bonded 1953 MG replica
will have another update on sunday, made some changes to the car,will also have pics.

Be sure and take lots of pics with commentary and post them so those of us in a galaxy far far away can at least see what we missed out on.
 

Nice!

Yep, she’s fine and that’s the main thing. It’ll be interesting to see what the
adjuster says about the car; I’ve never seen one with that much bent in the
‘B’ pillar ever track straight again.

Mrs. T even helped me install spring rubbers in the rear this morning after
we fetched the police report and voila! no more bottoming out. Shocks…[Read more]

I think spectating. I believe spectators get in free, or maybe it’s $3 to park. We put our cars in with the Toyotas and Durrangos and freak everyone out. Entering the MG competition is like $20 and I don’t think we stand a chance anyway.

So do we get to set with the real guys.

There has been nothing caught in either filter.Condenser is new. Have no idea how old the coil is.It will restart sometimes immediately, sometimes it takes a 5 min rest.I have seen air bubbling up into the post pump filter either with the car running or after you shut it off, that’s why I wondered if the pump was getting too much air into it and…[Read more]

OK, back on topic:I have buy-in from Greg, Wobby the Magnificent and, possibly, Schu, who has asked for an early dinner since he has some major driving to get there & back. I think we should meet at Winterthur at about 3:30 for a drive about the valley and get to the restaurant by about 4:15. I’ve got what I think is  nice route mapped out–Greg,…[Read more]

Have you checked Your lines back to tank, Had a very similar prblem would run fine for a few miles and then stall if I let it sit for a while I could get a few more miles it was a load of st in the tank that continually clogged lines.
 

Just thinking here, but could this be an electrical problem rather than a fuel problem? Maybe as some componet heats up from engine heat it stops working. Does it have an old coil or condenser? Or an electronic distributor modual. Does it restart after a five or ten minute cool down? Im not saying its electrical over fuel, but anything is…[Read more]

Thankfully, your wife is OK!
The other car stuff takes a back seat to that!

The whole engine was totally rebuilt, the Solex 34 PICT carb was cleaned thoroughly and what was plugging up the jet after a ride was a 1/2mm x1/8″ piece of either black plastic or rubber. It had to come either from inside the fuel lines, rubber surrounded by braid, also new, or the fuel pump, also new. I don’t know how old the lines were,…[Read more]

Thanks fellows. I had misunderstood about the tunnel issue and thought
it just hampered removal of the entire trans. I see now it’s a bigger chunk
of work to just replace the tans mount. Not impossible, just more to do.
The link to PinkMGs pix is very valuable, I had not found that thread
before. I might just ponder cutting the mount away and…[Read more]

mrlmd;
by chance are you running a blended fuel(10% ethenol/alchohol) this stuff causes big broblems in the fuel system in a vehical that is not driven regulary.I had this problem last year,long story but a carb rebuils solved the problem as most of the gaskets inside the carb were eaten away.You may have to bite the bullet and run 100% gas.
And…[Read more]
