I saw you guys checking the GT out in a parking lot, what must have been just after this accident happened. Sad to see this! The owner works a block from me in Pataskala so I’d see this car almost on the daily. Always wanted to stop in at his work and invite him over to my garage to see my MGA coupe project!

Yes to the TR6 video!

Yes great advice. I daily drive my bugeye sprite because I love it and always drive like someone wants to hit me. Be great to have another midget video please.

Another outstanding video. Sad ending to a nice MGB GT.

Shame about the BGT. Hope they make it right!

Yes a TR6 video would be of interest . Your knowledge of these vehicles would be a good addition to your audience

Yes to the TR6 videos!

Keep up the great work.

As a TR6 owner, I would be interested in a bumper to bumper inspection. Thx

Yes Tr6 would be informative. Thanks

Your absolutely correct on all the vendors

Yes do the TR6 and the key job. All of them would be great

Oh, crud! It hurts to even look at the damage. Hoping future videos will be about getting her back on the road.

Another outstanding video and presentation.

A TR6 video would be great. The ignition switch video would be great too.

I am resto modding a 1974 MG Midget. I like the dashes though of the 1965, 66, 67 Mark2 style. I just wonder how difficult would it be to modify the wiring harness for. Or is there any recommendation you would have concerning this?

Wow, I want an engine stand like that!!

Assumptions about what people have done to a poorly running vehicle are a rabbit hole. Even if they haven't been touched the o rings in the carbs are potentially 40 years old and throttle bushes worn with air leaks. If they have been interfered with its better to assume nothing is correct and do a thorough disassembly, clean and rebuild referring to a works diagram. SU's are a deceptively simple carb, capable of accurately metering the fuel demands of the engine. Needle swaps may get you into the right ball park, but reproducing the needle at specific points may be necessary.

Broken exhaust hangers and brackets can lead to cracking of the one piece intake and exhaust manifold.

This is an outstanding video that clearly covers the final stage of checking the installation of the new harness. The video also covers all the checking procedures and possible issues. Thank you!

i've got three british cars and finding a temperature sensor that fits AND provides the right voltage to match the gauge so as to create a modicum of accuracy is a guessing game AFAIK. for the better part of a century their outward appearance hasn't changed much, in fact they're practically identical, but the threads differ, the amount of threads differ and the voltage they produce for a give temperature differ... smh.

You mentioned the tach taking a few seconds to start working - mine does that every time. Any idea what the cause of that is & if it's fixable?

Always an outstanding video and presentation.

Ah, the reliability of Chinesium reproductions.

Thanks for the video Rob, just wondering if you would recommend any exhaust paste whilst assembling these? Mine seems to blow a bit from the joints.

you are lucky it was not rivited in.

my 77 has been changed and had so many electronics added by previous owner, including new modern fuse box, I can't use any wiring charts. i swear I have 3x the connectors under the dash and more terminating wires than imaginable.

Im in Dayton. I have a 1500 and an 1800 engine I would like talk to you about building up. What is the number to your shop?

Great video

Another outstanding video showing information and tips that are never covered in books or other videos on KZbin. Thank you!

Thanks for explaining the Militaries aptitude test, I wonder how accurate it is? Did you find anybody else that scored 100% in their area but really had no clue once presented with the real thing? Do all branches have their own tests? Thanks for posting, I find your approach very calming, I guess that their must be some young and fast electricians, but no old and fast electricians, not the kind of area where speed pays but probably kills.

Outstanding video explaining the difference in each of the harnesses and it's connections. Thank you.

Thank you for your great videos! They are full of information and helpful tidbits, I look forward to them every week.

I’m rewiring two MGBs. Each car has NO WIRING HARNESS. I can not figure out where to start…. So, based upon this tutorial, could I proceed to 1. put the firewall fresh air vents in first, 2. then fish the wiring harness through from the cabin to the engine bay. 3. Then sort the front out before starting on the dash. To this end, 4. Can I cut the harnesses to make snap in connections to the dash? It would allow me to wire the dash (rebuilt gauges and switches) on the bench, mount/install it in the car, before attaching it to the powered loom.. just an idea because I’m confused by diagrams.

I do have one question though. The carbs have been rebuilt but I can't get the idle speed down below 1100 rpm without losing power and it back firing. Any ideas on fixing it?

I had to re-wire my 77 B back in February this year. Took 3 days of lying in a puddle under the car. I replaced all 3 major looms after the reverse lights never worked and the ignition circuit burnt out. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I laid the new one out and used the wiring diagrams and labelled EVERYTHING. Meant the hardest part was pushing the harness from the inside to the engine bay.

Great video

From what i understand, one difference between brake clean and carb clean/starting fluid (among many other things) is that the latter two have oils/lubricants in them which, as you mentioned in the video, happen leave behind a residue. thus, i am of the opinion that for use as a starting fluid, brake clean should never be used, as it strips necessary engine oil from the cylinder walls, valve guides, etc without replacing it, which could cause premature wear. I’m no expert and i’m not sure how bad it really is to use brake clean as a starting fluid, and i, like everyone else, have used brake clean as starter fluid in a pinch, but i never would recommend it and avoid it at all costs. anyways good stuff as always, thank you for the informational and entertaining content you produce

Yes let’s hear about the different stores
