Bugeye won't start

Share this page

Howdy Folks,

Bugeye Feul Flow Up-Date:

Purchased an "In-Line" Elec. pump. Installed yesterday & "ALL" problems are solved! The Mech. Pump is still hooked up as well & drove around for approx. 1hr. with "NO HICK-UPS" whatsoever.

On this note; I`ll be signing off the Spridget Forum & Re-locating to the "Triumph Forum". I`m picking up my `57TR3 this coming Sat & dropping off My Bugeye to the New Owner at the same time.

It was fun & surely informative being here & meeting with you folks.

See Y`All Later,

Regards, Russ

Sorry to hear you are taking a step down. :lol: Just kidding...sort of. Enjoy the Triumph. I've always loved TR-3s.
 
Howdy Bill,

I`ve owned just about every LBC you probably could think of with the exception of a Healey 3000.

My "All Time" favorite was & always will be an "E-Type Rdstr" Series I. I`ve enjoyed a variety of Triumphs to include 2-TR3s, 2-TR4s & 1-TR6.

I can`t forsee an E-Type in the near future so; 2nd best for myself is the "TR3". They simply have nice lines; Their spunky; Nostaglic Ride & most of all I love the "Low Cut Doors".

See Y`All Later,

Russ

That's funny; it's exactly why I want an MGTC. :thumbsup:

You and me both, Bill! Just not sure I'll fit in one, or be able to drive one with the natural snow shoes I got instead of feet.

Howdy Drew,

If you can get into a B/E with your "Snow Shoes"; Why would`nt you be able to get into an "MGC"??

Just lurking,

Russ
 
Russ -- MG TCs have a *very* narrow foot box and tight pedal spacing. I drove an MG TF once, and that did worked pretty well, even though still tight (and it's supposed to be roomier than a TC). I'll have to try a TC some day and see if I fit. I just love that pre-war styling.

A Bugeye actually has a surprising amount of leg and foot room; in some ways I found the Tunebug better in that regards than the TR4 I had previously.
