As long as we're talking about carbs and all I'd like to mention
that I have a sidedraft mikuni which I for some reason could never get to
run very well on my B for sale. I ran into a huge flat spot just off
idle although it did make good power after that. If anyone interested
I'd like $150.00 or interesting trades. I would like a tube shock
conversion set, or maybe an interior kit, or something interesting. I
also have lots of other bits off of a rubber bumper MGB GT if anyone
needs a particular part.
