Q & A: RPM in MGC

Monday January 02nd, 2006
Q & A, MGA, MGB, MGC, MG T-Type, Midget
about my 69 MGC. In first and second gear when I hit 3500rpm it seems to be starving for gas and begins to sputter. I can't get it to smooth out or go any faster. I've replaced the carb jets, pulled the choke at 3500rpm, played with timing etc. It doesn't seen to do it in 3 or 4 gear but id have to pay more attention while in third. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim

You complain of sputtering at 3500rpm in 1st and 2nd. You are certain that this fault occurs at a certain rpm, NOT a certain road speed. I would imagine that you'd have the same problem in 3rd and 4th at 3500.
