Hi All, I have a 71 MGB that won't start. Earlier this year the head cracked in the number three exhaust area. I found a used head that had been gone through, it looked ok, and installed it. The car tried to run on two cylinders so I then did a leak-down test and had air escaping through the 3 and 4 intake. Had my machinist check the head and he resurfaced the valve seats. I reinstalled the head and did a compression test. About 100 #'s on each cylinder, I have a cheap test kit so I don't know about accuracy, but all were close together. The car will now start with starting fluid, will not run, and nothing without starting fluid. Valve lash is right, carbs and timing are close. I don't understand why it will start( not run ) with starting fluid and won't without. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks, Mike
