Hi All!
I came in on this late but I think what the original lister may be
refering to is the mechanical rollover valve. If so I have heard that
this valve may leak and cause a fire which is presumably how the last
production MGB died. It is redundant anyway because there is an electric
inertia switch under the dash.
I have to disagree that the auto choke is a pain. When properly cleaned
and adjusted, even a unit with 100,000+ miles will operate (as is my
'79B). John Twist had a great explanation to re-index an old choke
spring. That, and with the Haynes manaul adjustment procedure worked
great on 2 B's I have set up so far.
Just my 2 cents worth.
