    Right out of the gate - best mechanic tip out there: never pull a drain plug before removing the fill plug. I've known a few learn this the hard way.

    The SU carbies have the mixture adjustment under the dash pot. To make richer, turn anticlockwise. To make leaner, turn clockwise. Best is to establish a base setting by screwing in until they bottom out, then unscrew 2 turns. This should be very close. I grew up working on cars with carbies on them, and most of the cars I owned had carbies on them. A really useful tool for this is the Gunson’s colour tune tool. It is basically a see through spark plug you screw into a plug hole. You then start the motor and adjust the mixture until you see a pale blue flame in the plug. Use number one and number three cylinders to make the adjustments. The reason I stated two cylinders is because of the twin carbies.

    • @mikekovacs8981
      @mikekovacs8981 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      Agree you've got to get the mixtures dialed in then circle back to the idle. I haven't used the colour tune tool but can lift the pistons with a screwdriver just a small amount. You are looking for the point that the idle raises but then quickly comes back down. If it dies or stumbles its too lean if its too rich it will just raise up and stay there.

    Excellent video! When you re-use a copper washer on a banjo bolt, always anneal the washer with a propane torch to cherry red and allow it to air cool. This softens the work-hardened copper and allows it to reform and make a leaf-proof seal as you snug the bolt into place.

I will admit I never encountered one that worked but I was working in a foreign car shop in the mid- to late-seventies and most of those cars were pretty worn out by then. Some were separate and you could pop them out for service, some were integral to the tach face. Some had the setting stem below the tach, some had it behind. All part of the fun when working on British cars. You never knew what was going to happen next.

    Finally a machine that I can relate to - my dad had a 52 TD that I got to drive a handful of times as a kid. I remember exactly how that sounded, and here we have those sounds in this one. A unique driving experience, very narrow- open air was alot to get used to and lots of feedback in the wheel- a bit shaky above 45mph, but manageable. Classic, I can almost smell the leather. The louvered engine cover is a thing of beauty.

    Mustie the dash pots aren't even on the carbs. We used to polish the chamber the pistons worked in with Brasso to clean up any surface ireggulariies. Accurate oil and viscosity of oil in the dashpots is critical. Mainjet adjusments at the bottom. Always choke the carbs for at least 10 minutes from cold. I used to tune multi carb set ups with a piece of rubber tubing in the intake.

    Being the old guy that I am, this video darkly amuses me ; -Þ. It is a reminder of what we had to do every 3-4 months back in the early 70's to keep our Japanese cans running properly. What had to be done: change oil, file points, sand blast plugs, set timing. Every year: regular quarterly service plus change cap, rotor and capacitor. It also reminds me that we used to laugh at English vehicles (I was a motorcycle guy then also) that British vehicles, never driven, would leak oil on the dealer's floor. It's a new day now. This car is a real beauty for me to see!

    • @rupe53

      if you are setting the timing more than once, then something else is worn out or been taken apart. I have worked on vehicles well over50 years and going back into the 20s and never had to set / change timing unless repairs were being done. Yes, double checking, but not changing anything if all else is correct.

    Nice video, you are a true professional in production, your comments are so inclusive, you are inspirational. Whoaa, that thing is great, so simple, small, light, big wheels ( the UK cars always had terrible brakes, I wonder if you can find disc brakes for the front off a mini or later MGB or something, but at least they don't go very fast). Love the dual carbs (some had single SU) I tuned so many of them, you figured it out in 3 min (tune those mixture screws, the float levels make a big difference and make sure you have the right oil in the carb dampers, that contributes to the cough). (tip, use dielectric grease in the distributor on the cam and flyweights so it doesn't make the points break up the spark).
    Glad you got through health issues, we are all getting older. Love your work!

    This is a fun and slightly atypical project for you. As usual you just worked through and sorted it out.

    Hey Darren, Quick mental math trick for converting Celcius to Fahrenheit.. Double the Celsius temp and add 32. gets you in the ballpark within a couple of degrees

    That was my dream car when I was a kid - only people who owned them were rich old men who wore tweed jackets and were membes of the golf & cricket clubs !!!! The car cost more than a house did. LOVE the sound of that engine, brings back so many ( jealous ) memories :) Great vid Mustie, my boys were glued again.

    Long ago, my older brother’s friend had a ‘54 TD. After said friend put the crankshaft on the ground for the third time, he swapped in a Chevy 6 cylinder, the accompanying 3 speed transmission, and a narrowed Chevy rearend. The little MG went pretty well after that. My brother and his friend are both gone now, but rumor has it the TD is still floating around our hoe town somewhere. Oh, well.
