Thanks Willy. I'll double check the timing.

That Chevy must have been a sight to see then. A foot long flame; fantastic.

My Sprite already turns heads with the popping. Flames too would blow their minds. 🤣🤣.

Holy flame Batman.

Yes, I fitted a face seal to a couple of members engines however it is only suitable for 948 and 1098 where a full face area is available that is not present on the 1275.
No updates on function as cars subsequently sold on however no issues reported.
Tooling was simple with options to address both small and large bearing cranks (Mascot No. 410 May 2018).
I have never had a 1275 unit to...

Yep Bernie.

It beggers belief that this is how this country has become.

Cut and paste from a column, the words of which could be mine too.

"Surrounded by hostile strangers – the police and his killer – without a kind word or a gentle touch, handcuffs on his wrists, mockery in his ears, blood filling his lungs.

‘I’ve been stabbed’ he gasps. ‘I don’t...

An -if your exhaust is good and sealed and it's popping out the back on overrun i'd be checking your ignition timing, just knock it up a tiddle and see if it fixes it---
As far as normal exhaust noise on the overrun, it's just pumping noise, the same as you might hear through carburettors on throttle without air cleaners. or same as gets produced from a compressor--or from your chainsaw when ...

Bernie. It is, indeed Rob but the Shropshire Group has been lurking in the backfround for several years.

I thought it might be Rob in this dashcam photo that I posted back at the end of 2020. I knew he lived in Shropshire and had wanted to make contact.

It proved to be Alastair Wood who had recently moved from Kent to Shropshire about to introduce his Midget to its new home. <...

Anam.
Couldn’t agree more.
The ban on carrying a bladed item should be across the board, no exceptions. Religious knives??? WTF are they? A knife is a knife, end of.
No wonder the Police are nicknamed The Wooden tops. A guy is bleeding to death and they arrest him as he dies. The last words he heard was being read his rights, while the lying bastard murderer and his racist family member...

Yes, that will be Rob Thompson. He is a member of the N.West area and recently started the Shropshire group.
Bernie.

No, solid hif butterfly Willy.

Yep good idea about the choke, been meaning to try that but wasn't sure it was relevant. Now you've confirmed it may be, I'll have to back the fast idle screw off so it doesn't hold the throttle open. Next time I'm out I'll give it a try.

"I thought too weak caused popping"

You could well be correct. Maybe I was too lean and had to richen the mixture. Oh for the days when I could remember everything :)

Dear Ian and William
Thank you for your replies. Especially Wout Ram´s text, he published in "The MG-Experience", regarding the concentricity with the Crankshaft is VERY helpful !!!

I probably will go for the solution with the special cutting tool. I do have a German MG mate, who owns such a cutter :o)
