Q & A: New Carbs
Tuesday January 03rd, 2006
Hi John,
I am having problems getting my '80 MGB LE to run with a new set of daul SU HS4 carbs that I bought for it. When I try to start it, it runs for a couple seconds, then sputters and dies. The fuel pump is new, and I checked to make sure I am getting good fuel flow. The fuel filter is also new and the fuel is clean. The carbs are definately getting enough fuel, as the inside past the air piston are soaked. Could my problem still be fuel, or could it be ignition related? I have also installed new points and a new condenser. Could the firing order be wrong?
Cheers,
Dave
DAVE!
You probably discovered that it was your evaporative canister placing a vacuum on the gasoline in the float bowls. How did you solve the problem?

Tip of the Day
It makes no difference how quickly your MG will accelerate if it cannot
stop! The proper functioning of your brakes must ALWAYS be at the
top of your list of priorities. You owe this degree of safety to yourself,
your passenger, and all others on the road.
John H. Twist (Fall, 1980)
