Hey Curt good to see you back. Hope all has been well. Your video quality hasn't skipped a beat!

[@CarsBikesandCoffee]

Thanks Mike! Good to be back, hopeful to get back up and running routinely. Appreciate it as always!

[@hapfp1]

You never checked the shafts for wear, that is the #1 issue that gives trouble, and you never even looked at them.

[@pauls8977]

Thanks for this video. Would also be a good idea to check the float level before buttoning it up.

[@CarsBikesandCoffee]

Absolutely, a good point.

[@gymz4065]

Nice! Good work bro!

[@CarsBikesandCoffee]

Thank you!!

[@christianguillory7785]

Thanks a lot for this vidéo ! On my SU ( front ) a'm unable to repositionning the starter lever ( with the spiral lever ). Your hands are too hight in the vidéo and it's a nightmare... Could you explain to me again 🙏 ?... Best regards

[@FireballsGarage]

Exactly the same car I have ! Primrose '69 GT

[@bertsparrow]

Dang... The most important part of the video, at 14:04 is out of camera view! I can't get that darn choke spring in place for the life of me!

[@duncanwilson9020]

I have the exact same problem with mine (a fuel leak) sadly, I took both carbs fully apart to clean them

[@sollywelch]

Why do the kits always cost quite a bit when they're just gaskets and stuff?

[@freestyla101]

How does the jet locking nut actually retain the jet while allowing adjustment when centring? I’ve wondered for a while but I’m not prepared to pull mine apart while it is running well lol.

[@CarsBikesandCoffee]

Yeah if it ain’t broke… lol really the linkage that screws to the side of the jet keeps it from falling out.

[@freestyla101]

@@CarsBikesandCoffee haha if it ain’t broke don’t pull it to pieces to see how it works.

[@michaelmenard8913]

where did you get those carb kits? I need a hose for the float bowl like your kit has.

[@CarsBikesandCoffee]

I got them through partsgeek, looks to be currently out of stock. www.partsgeek.com/gbproducts/WC/16354-01016078.html?YN&PartsGeek+Google+Base&+MG+MGB+Carburetor+Repair+Kit+Royze+W0133-1622704+68-71+MG+Carburetor+Repair+Kit+1969+1970&fp=pp&gbm=a&PartsGeek+Google+Basecid=6774379819&aid=79287199093&keyword=333602567481%3A%3Apla-333602567481&kid=333602567481&gclid=Cj0KCQjwgo_5BRDuARIsADDEntTXry8lxn2DcwpSaGjFlkrTZwlTIBv3HGhJZn1EY7fEA8C6ilxpLroaAtVvEALw_wcB

@6:40 water is thicker than gas. Better to test in gasoline.

[@CarsBikesandCoffee]

Interesting, so you’re saying a hole/crack could potentially not be identified by water but gas would. Good to know! Thanks!

[@jcraquelin]

when are we seeing the Z again?

[@CarsBikesandCoffee]

Just getting a few final things in this week for suspension and going to get to get back to filming this week. Thanks for your patience, it’s been a long time coming but should go smoothly from here! Also, engine block is at the machinist as we speak! 🤘🏻🔥
