Hi Jim. First of all, as a long time (55 years) MGB owner and =
wrench/restorer/racer/what have you, why would someone put a DCOE on a =
stock MGB? You=E2=80=99ll get much better drivability from a pair of =
SUs.
I don=E2=80=99t know anyone in WPTA, or in the Greater Pgh. MG Club who =
can help you with that carb. You might contact Jim Boffo (Boffo =
Motors), in New Brighton. Jim might be able to help. Also, =
there=E2=80=99s a guy up on route 8 (Don Fowler, I think). Do NOT =
entrust those clowns at Foreign Traffic with anything. Period.
=20
Where are you located, by the way?

I am a new MGB owner and trying to learn what I can. I love the car =

The car is a stock 78 (recently restored), with a DCOE carburetor. No =

Once it warms up it is smooth.=20

The concern is have is when I go into a turn in 2nd gear, and press the =

Anyway, anyone have some advice on tuning the DCOE? As I said, I love =
the car. Just not happy with how it runs in certain conditions.=20

BTW, if this email is not appropriate, please let me know. New to the =
car and the WPTA =20

Thanks.

Hi everyone,
=20
Just wanted to thank everyone for their advice and input on buying a TR3 =
.
I did purchase a 1959 TR3 from John Guehl in the Pittsburgh area. I =
spent a little more than I anticipated but that=E2=80=99s just a little =
less for my kids to inherit !!
There was a lot of gas odor in the car after filling the tank so I =
pulled the panel off from inside the trunk to check the tank and found =
that the fill hose wasn=E2=80=99t fully connected, (easy fix )
I also found this written on the back of the panel.
Anyone familiar with the names ?
See pictures .
=20
Again thanks for all your help.
I greatly appreciate it !!
