    blimey I was a bit harsh on the Draper multitool there, to be fair if the drain plug socket had been in better condition it wouldn't have been that bad

    but I still didn't like it, not a nice tool to use which is probably why I got rid of the last one I had

    if you lived nearer tou could have the one I have now to keep for yourself

    I bought and use one of these, the short handle...

    The company bought the cheapest primers they could. Today, we prime with a color close to the base coat so we can use less base. They may have primed and left things in primer for a while before they had their base coats scheduled.

    warmly,
    dave

    Last time I went to the spring one it wasn't a patch on the autumn one but things may have changed.

  • Dave Braun17 May 2012

    My cupped washers are 'upside down' and I did so to retain the clips. My lights function fine.

    warmly,

    Colin,
    the fill and drain plugs should be either 3/8" square female socket or a 3/8" hex female socket - or one of each

    they don't have a washer

    to get them out clean all around them and apply a good releasing/penertrating fluid and leave to soak as long as possible, then very slightly tighten to break crud seal before undoing

    personally I found the Draper multitool Dave pu...

    Sylvester,
    I've had the same tinkling from the pinion in my Magnette for decades. If anyone has a solution I'd be glad to hear it!

  • Les Bengtson17 May 2012

    Moss. When you remove the top cover, there are two jets (small, brass things with a hole in the center and a slot for a common screwdriver) visible. Each jet has a number stamped on it. You need to see what those numbers are and post them. I have found quite a number of different jets in these carbs over the years, all of which claimed to be suitable for the MGB. Sometimes, I had to change out the...
