Hi All
I have scoured the internet and i am really struggling to get hold of MG Midget 1500 info. So i have turned to the people who help the most, they were out so you guys will have to do
So I have a 79 MG Midget 1500 which was running like a bag of spanners when i got it, so i did the normal service, points, plugs, air filter etc. and now it is idling ok (it has just passed an MOT) but on the road test it will not get above 30mph (the MOT station is in the village so i had no reason to go above it to take it there).
Whilst driving i have it in 4th gear and the engine revs climb when i press the accelerator pedal and the engine screams but now power. My initial thought is the clutch is losing friction but i am no expert. So i need help:
1: Any ideas why i have no power, could it be the clutch?
2: Dose anyone know any web sites where i can find the engine settings, Plug gap, points, Dwell angle etc.
Any help or info would be great thanks
Rob
