Darren, the MG fits you well. We all hope your health is improving. Take care and thank you for all the hard work and entertainment. John here, photographing the beautiful back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee, y'all.
Those are not MGs.....they are MY GODS....OMG where is the master cylinder?....OMG that is a carburator?....OMG where is the (&(&....ETC....all day long.
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.
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.
@@greengrayradio1394 Definately don't quench it, if your trying to anneal. Rapid cooling hardens the metal. You want to heat until red and cool slowly to make it malleable.

About five or so years ago I started using synthetic fluids on the older British cars I sometimes work on, including my own '72 Triumph. Red Line manual trans fluid, silicone brake fluid, etc. Wow, what a difference! Great upgrades for these old beauties. Greetings to all hard-working men and women from NC farm country, luckily not in the path of Helene.
@@donnienicholson6062 The clock? 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.
It was mustie who inspired me, Darren's channel was the first youtube channel I subscribed to back in 2009 2010 around there, has been quite pleasant being a part of the channel and I really gotta hand it to him as he inspired me not to give up.
@@Hjerte_Verke I love the sound of MG engines because they take me back to my youth. Listening to my father tinkering with them in the garage. If someone recorded that sweet music as a sound track, I'm sure it would be a best seller.
Musti goes for a 'shake down cruise' around the neighborhood. If I saw the sticker on the license plate it said 79 - as he drove by the cops house!. LMAO! Fun video Musti - as always.
I am 77 and from a child in the early 50's I have always wanted one of these MG's. Sadly I have never got to own one. It would have to be right hand drive though (the proper way around)😅. You are doing an amazing job. Thank you for bringing this old girl back to life. Hugh Somerset UK.
If I'm not mistaken, you can unscrew the small caps on top of the carbs and use the stem that is part of the cap to prime the engine. A friend of mine has restored many of these. Great videos!!!
I'm glad those cars from UK are here in Illinois, USA. Fun automobiles. My Grandparents all came from England originally around 1900 so I've always had a love for old country and their autos. 🕍
Excellent Video 1953 MGTD convertible 2 door sports coupe Mustie 1 :) and very cool to drive for sure ! Plus test drive was successful when take out shop you squealed tire I heard LOL and got some power also torque too!
I had one of those carb sync guages for my '73 VW van. I remember using it a time or two, but I was never much of a mechanic. In all of my 78 years, I've never seen one of those plug gap tools. Clever! Happy to know your health is improving.
I still get a kick out of seeing my Uncle’s engine turned stainless steel dress up cover on the generator. Each swirl was made individually on a drill press!
You have a real gem on your hands. A keeper! If it was the original RHD and not the export model. I'd make you an offer and ship the old girl back home. But she is LHD for the colonies. Meaning she is exactly where MG intended her to be. Please look after the old girl. Drive only in the summer and store somewhere warm and dry. 1953 is just a year or two younger than me, I don't do well in the cold and damp either.
It's fantastic to see this one pull off the lift under its own steam! My Dad used to work on these in the 50's & 60's so a fab project for me to behold 👏 Nice one! 🥳
Those SU's gulping air brought back memories of my 544 and 122 Volvos I still have one of those carbs tucked away somewhere. Thought I might make a lamp or something with it. One of these days.
On my 544 and 144 Volvos, I was taught how to balance the SUs by listening to the air flow under the dash pot using a piece of plastic tubing. If they sounded alike, they were alike. The "Unisyn" only added an error factor was my thinking.
@@brucemacrobbie5527 I found the Unisyn to be useful as a check on my (suspect) ability to discern a difference in sound via the old plastic tube trick. Both still wait patiently in a toolbox of "things I'm not likely to ever use again...but you never know".
As a former MGB owner, I was smiling when you were looking for the transmission fill port-- On the MGB it was combined dipstick/fill, and was behind the radio.
I never really gave these cars much thought, but the more I watched the video, the more I started liking the car. It's coming back nicely and should have a lot of life left in it. Looking forward to seeing it completely done and going down the road...
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.
A Mustie fan from California that is nice been watching you from the begining picking up junk for cash and you still have the containers in a secret yard with V W parts and restores
She running again as an MG should. Suprised to see a metric temp scale; my cars of that era are all imperial Fahrenheit. Watch the flex on the screen though on entry and exit. They crack easily. Great content best from the UK.
that looks fun thanks cant wait to see the finished joy ride i always enjoy you acting like a kid so proud of your work it is an inspiration every time
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!
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.
It's like watching a surgeon with his hands inside a body understanding what is supposed to happen when he tweaks this or that. I really appreciate Darren's concern for what we can see. It's what makes his videos fun to watch.
I love these videos and look forward to seeing them; I was surprised to see you pointing out the instructions on the plug wires...... I am sure that was for my benefit because he surely knew that. 😅
great vid mustie what i did for checking your generator/dynamo was to turn on your head lights rev the engine and if the lights got brighter the generator works
Yeah that's a quick indicator that generator is working to some extent. But I can't believe Darren didn't remember to polarise the field windings on the generator, by flashing 12v on field terminal !
ive been watching your channel for years now i love volkswagens ive had racing buggys and so on.all i can say is your kick ass you can fix anything fabricate anything your bad ass.
I grew up with my dad having several MGBs here in Ireland, and I've had 3 myself. I currently have a Russet brown 1980 GT, and it's so great seeing Mustie working on an MG! It's surprising how little the engineering changed over the years too!
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!
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.
Hi D. Awesome revival!! I absolutely love that car!! It’s a keeper for sure. Great job getting it running!! Really love seeing you get something that hasn’t ran for years going again!! Outstanding video as always!! Always appreciate your hard work!! Looking forward to the next one!!😊😊😊😊
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.
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.
Darren, the MG fits you well. We all hope your health is improving. Take care and thank you for all the hard work and entertainment. John here, photographing the beautiful back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee, y'all.

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.
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.
First time in my life I’ve heard someone say anti clockwise. I love it!!! Sounds like something I’d say or the guy from Vicegrip Garage.would say.
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.
Rapid cooling in water afterwards also anneals copper
Leak not leaf and
Cooling in water hardens the copper, annealing softens the copper
@@greengrayradio1394 Definately don't quench it, if your trying to anneal. Rapid cooling hardens the metal.
You want to heat until red and cool slowly to make it malleable.
Do you honestly think he doesn't know that? Or do you just want to look like you know something? Weird.

Hi to the Imp 👿! 😊
Good afternoon all from Ireland 🇮🇪
And from here in Yorkshire
Hello again from North Lincolnshire as well.
Really enjoying seeing this old MG coming back to life 👍 It sounded like the valve clearance on 1 or 2 of the valves need adjusting.
Yeah a bit clattery; I imagine the camera mic picks it up well but may not be noticeable to the human ear.

A beautiful Mustie relic! Nice how you dodged the police in the neighborhood!
Good to see the MG get some love, its stands for Morris Group if you weren't aware, greetings from the UK.
Morris Garages.
Yep, Morris Garages.
I was yelling at ya when you got in running and it was poppin that it was out of time ...man I love that thing .. so cool it is back to life
Nice job, beautiful old classic car.
Musti goes for a 'shake down cruise' around the neighborhood. If I saw the sticker on the license plate it said 79 - as he drove by the cops house!. LMAO!
Fun video Musti - as always.
The cops in his neighborhood are probably used to his antics! 😉
Uhu, and putting video evidence online :)
Super sweet little car. Always great content from the main man. Really enjoy watching this man, he has a great attitude towards his views and work.

That's a cool tool for setting the correct gap on the spark plug. Awesome video, thank you for posting 😀
Would love to see more on this jewel 👍👍👍👍

Use carb oil 👍
Twin SU Carbs. It's nice to see old cars from my country, turning up in the USA.

After World War II, most MG (and other british sports cars) were sold to America. It was partly how rebuilding after the war was financed.

Hi from Kansas City Missouri USA
Wow, what a cute little car! Sounds good, I want one!
Hello to you all from Warwickshire UK. . just love the sound of that Morris engine. .

great vid mustie what i did for checking your generator/dynamo was to turn on your head lights rev the engine and if the lights got brighter the generator works
Yeah that's a quick indicator that generator is working to some extent.
But I can't believe Darren didn't remember to polarise the field windings on the generator, by flashing 12v on field terminal !
To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit double it and add 30, that gets you close enough. Car looks and sounds great, almost ready!
Great job!! I love this funky little British picky little thing!!
That is one beautiful car -and I suspect worth a lot as a collector item. Very much looking forward to the next video on it!
Gotta love a classic convertible! Nice work Mustie.
A Icon of a car and the dirt road is so appropriate for that age of car as well!
It’s wonderful to see a man enjoy the fruits of his labor 👍
Can you imagine having to work on that back in the day with the tools they had back then 😊😊😊
Nice old rig definitely worth spending a bit of time on,great job, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
Watching Mustie1 struggle to find the right wrench was good for my soul.
Nice work! I can feel the love that car has for you!
