well... new to mg's.
I have not picked up a Haynes manual...yet.
I am also new to carbs. I know the general idea behind them, but the ones on my 72 MG Midget with stock 1275 are differnt from anything i have seen before.
now from what I read, I think my carbs are SU's. If so is there a link to learn more about them, there is sumthin on the top you can unscrew and it looks like oil is in there or sumthin....
heh i promise i am not as dumb as i sound!! LOL i am just more of a EFI guy...
my car i just bought it and it will start up easily, but die right afterwards, like 3seconds later. the fuel pump clicks and it appears it has filled the fuel filter with fuel.
my dad and I are going to pull the carbs off sometime and clean them and throw a new seal kit in them, but i just want to know more about them before we pull them off.
i am sure he wont have a problem.. he has worked on ol MHs and AHs back in the day...
so basically just would like to find out as much info on them as possible.
thanx for all the help
