Just bought a 1968 Midget and just found this forum. I hope you all can answer a few questions and forgive me if these are old and/or worn out threads....
1) I bought a new top (hood) for the Midget and have yet to find a really good resource (with pictures) on installing it. Most of it looks straight forward enough but I sure would like to see some detailed drawings or pictures on the header bar portion. Is there anywhere online I might be able to find this?
2) This car has an HIF type single SU on it and could use some adjustment to smooth out things as it periodically stalls and is hard to restart. Is there a difference in the timing settings for this carb from the stock twin SU settings?
In doing vintage motorcycle restorations, I have found that there is usually a definitive web site out there that has most if not all of the answers plus a ton of pictures. I'm hoping the same will be true of the MG. Any recommendations?
I'm not a total mechanical idiot, but if that guy ever dies....... ;-)
Cheers!!
Jim
