Putting the carbs on the rebuilt 1275 that will go in the B/E.
Seems I am missing the choke linkage and possibly part of the accelerator linkage.
Cant find a real clear picture or diagram.
Can anyone post detailed photos of the carb set up?

Thaks much
Fred
 
If anyone has a spare set of choke linkage for dual HS2's let me know and I'll buy.
Thanks
Fred
 
How 'bout this
There are three return springs from linkage to heat shield.
. Two long and one short
Where do they go?

Mine (I only have one and need to get another) goes to the triangular cutout on the inner fender. Don't know if there was ever really "a place" just a spot to hook it on.
 
Fred--these photos are pretty bad, but they might help. The choke cable stop is something someone improvised. It doesn't work quite right.

Fred--
This shot of the linkage on another fellow's car appeared on the MG Experience website this week. Hope he doesn't mind I post it here. I'll take it off it he does. Disregard the arrows.
