Runs for 5 minutes then stops. Sounds a bit like a tired fuel pump. After it dies is there fuel in the carb bowls? attach the plug wire, lay the plug against the; /html/mgs/1995-04/msg00122.html (7,518 bytes)
42. Manual for the 18V series engine. (score: 1): Author: John Van Valkenburgh <jvan@nando.net>; Date: Wed, 12 Apr 1995 23:11:08 -0400 (EDT); I'm getting ready to pull the engine on my '70 model MGB roadster this weekend. Even though the car is a 1970 model, a PO put in an 18V series engine (584Z). I've got the "Official" manual from Bent; /html/mgs/1995-04/msg00167.html (7,704 bytes)

I'd be inclined to pull the oil pan and ckeck for a loose rod. Perhaps check the torque on the end-caps. Sounds like a vacuum leak to me also. I've got one of those hand; /html/mgs/1995-04/msg00200.html (7,390 bytes)

All you have to do is undo the two (3/8 or 7/16) bolts which hold the backing plate on the engine. Make note of where the rotor is pointing. The two b; /html/mgs/1995-04/msg00252.html (6,957 bytes)

Re: Marks Alternator (score: 1): Author: John Van Valkenburgh <jvan@nando.net>; Date: Sun, 23 Apr 1995 23:36:46 -0400 (EDT); As I recall, the indicator light is part of the circuit which feeds the "field" windings on the alternator. When the alternator is running properly, it produces enough voltage on the field terminal; /html/mgs/1995-04/msg00359.html (8,550 bytes)

47. MG Bodywork Book (score: 1): Author: John Van Valkenburgh <jvan@nando.net>; Date: Tue, 21 Mar 1995 18:38:18 -0500 (EST); [snip] I'd recommend the "MGB Guide To Purchase & Restoration" by Lindsey Porter. It goes into detail about the weak areas of the MGB body. Lots of other hints on general repair as well. You should; /html/mgs/1995-03/msg00151.html (6,849 bytes)

Re: '73 MGB, Running on #2 only (score: 1): Author: John Van Valkenburgh <jvan@nando.net>; Date: Sun, 26 Mar 1995 23:09:50 -0500 (EST); [snip snip] You've looked at all the things I would have. 120 sounds just a tad low to me for the compression, but what matters most is that all cylinders are pretty much equal.
