It took me awhile and I asked a lot of questions but here it is.

I must have flooded it which is why I had the earlier post. TB responded by saying I assume there is fire at the plugs? Rather than answer yes I figured I'd check again. As I was again checking for spark, she fired up! I quickly shut her down, threw the plug back in, fired her back up and she's running great!

Still on rear stands and my wife says:

"Vinnie your in gear."
"No I'm not."
"Well your hub is spinning."
"Shoot maybe the clutch plate is stuck"

I look back and the hub IS spinning. I depress the clutch and, put it in gear and the hub starts spinning faster, Hot ****! I've got a clutch!

Just gotta bleed the brakes and I should B able to drive the B. It'll B my first time in a B and the 3rd time in my own MG.

Thanks to all who have participated in the re-birth of this baby. I'm not out of the woods yest but man the lights looks bright.
(did someone say "Awakening a sleeping TD"?)
Thanks again.

Great news Vinnie! Nothing sounds much better than that 'start up,' does it?!

*CHEERS*
 
Good on ya! Glad it is working the way it should!
 
Let us know how it goes. We got a lot of time invested in this. LOL
 
Not good not bad. I have a bunch of issues to work out.
 
Nothing that a bit of labor and a few bucks won't fix as always.
