Hello All, My '77B will not start. It turns over, has good compression, the fuel pump is pumpin', the carb is receiving the fuel, and my coil is receiving the 12 V from the battery, though I don't know if it is stepping it up or not. It wants to start, its trying. However, while checking the spark I noticed it was quite week. My trusty Haynes manual stated that a wet distributor could cause this. My heater-water valve does leak. Has anyone else had trouble starting their MG and find a leaky heater-water valve, which had soaked the distributor, to be the culprit? TIA Edwin "I try to think but nuthin' happens" http://www.auburn.edu/~vaughme -- Curly (the stooge) |
