Hi all,
I bought a 1952 MGTD a few months ago, it starts ok if you start it every day or two, but if it sits for 3-4 days is hard to start, it will fire once or twice but not start, if you keep trying it will finely start, it is keep in the garage.
When I start it up every day or two, I cut on the sw. and let the fuel pressure build up, pull the choke all the way out and it fires right up. no prob.
When it does start it runs ok. should I use some starter fluid if it sits more then a couple of days ? I don't have the time to take it to a shop "to long of a wait to get in"
I tried pumping the gas a few times, nothing, seems like it is not getting any gas to the carb's ?? but the fuel pump does cut off like the pressure is up ??
Thanks for any advice. Louis
