“ Use your jumper cable to go directly from the starter motor frame to your engine block.” |

Before I replaced that battery I'd check that the starter motor has a good ground. Use your jumper cable to go directly from the starter motor frame to your engine block. Let me know what happens. |

In case it adds anything useful to the conversation I'll add my experience with a Mk1 Midget. As you probably know that's quarter eliptic rear springs, sliding perspex sidescreens and other than a boot, quite similar technically to a Frogeye.

Had to think a bit there 🤔 "Porsche" 911 or the USA emergency number. Need to push on to 1000 then! |

Acceleration will always take longer in higher gears. The manual gear lever switch was always iffy, the wires can short and it's unfused from the factory which will burn wiring, always a good idea to add a fuse particularly on this type. Also the fuel pump, both mine and several I have worked on have all had pump shorts.

Does it have overdrive? Is that permanently switched on? The switch should be on the gear knob. The O/D will be locked out in 1st and 2nd gear by the switch on the gearbox. If it is on, when you change to third it will come in and the effect will be as if you went straight to 4th gear. |

Almost has to be MC. A few years ago, Bud Krueger and I had a thread about the lousy rebuild kits available- even back then. There have been so many MC variations over the years, very slim chance of getting the correct kit. I would just replace it, and keep your likely original on the shelf. I also had a recent thread about a fairly new wheel cylinder cup stick, tear, and leak with Dot5. George |
