There was a really strong showing of MGB's in Waynesboro, VA. So, it was time to get back to mine.
I hooked up the Weber carb, put some petrol in the tank and turned the key, hoping for the best. She took right off at high idle. A little adjustment to the throttle and the engine idled down nicely around 900 rpm. The mixture needs some adjustment, but I couldn't be happier. Oil pressure was over 50 lbs the whole time. The carb rebuild and new fuel tank are a success.The brakes were locked up on the rear passenger side so after I broke that free it was off for my first run in the car. With no rear brakes (the fluid reservoir for the rear was dry!) it was a short trip. Down to the end of the driveway, turn around and backed in the other way, so I can finish work on the wing. I also fixed a bad ground in the headlight circuit that was preventing the one and only headlight from lighting.
Next up: work on the front wing, running through the brake system and deciding what to do for winter. Fix it up enough to register the car and drive some during the winter, or prep her for winter and spend time on the roadster?
