Iv been very busy lately with getting ready for collage and working my current summer job, so i have not had much time to work on my Midget this summer. But yesterday i had off, and instead of going out to party with friends, I decided to take one last shot at starting my MG Midget for the very first time. After an hour or so of following wiring diagrams and tracing back the no-spark problem I had, i finally discovered one of the wires in my distributor was not connected properly. After re-wiring the wire and testing to see that i finally had spark, I hooked up my fuel pump, turned the distributor to near the proper position and turned the engine over. Only cranked about 2 revolutions before my baby that iv been working on for 3 years now, and hasn't whispered a breath of life in over 30 years, Fired right up with a beautiful roar. :banana:
That's right. Last night i fired up my 72 Mg midget for the very first time after a complete engine rebuild, along with carbs and ignition system. She ran beautifully smooth. No odd sounds of things tapping or banging or squeaking, only the occasional misfire, and those themselves seemed rare. Im unbelievably happy to have been slowly working on this since i got it when i was 15 and to finally have it running 3 years later. Now its not road worthy yet but i can now concentrate my efforts on getting there.
Now there are still some issues i have to resolve, like my high idle, which i believe may have to do with my possible missing choke cable, And the misfire which i will most likely fix with the electronic ignition swap and further timing adjustment. But im happy to share with you that its just one step closer to turning heads on the road. :cooler:
...video to come soon. If i can ever get time to up load it.
