A video showing what an MG Midget should sound like. I bought this car with the engine running poorly despite it being tuned up. What did I do?
-Check compression ; All good
-Check and adjust the valve clearances
-Check the ignition system. I went with Britpart Electronic Ignition to bin the points and then set the timing up to stock. It was far too advanced
-Check & adjust the carbs ; Mine needed freeing off alot, but this was done. They were then balanced and had the mixtures done
It went from hunting and misfiring slightly to purring lovely and starting on the button. Who said old cars run poorly?
