Today was the first day since college I done valve clearance….. came back to me very quickly…
So after my first month with my MG with the ticking from the valves I took the plunge and set them to 0.15mm. Really surprised at the results as it was so quiet,,,, can hear other noises now so they will need investigating but really chuffed with my efforts.
Seems I may now also need to check the timing as idle is very low even when changing in carbs, plus a nice gentleman stoped by walking his dog and says it sounds like I needed to advance the timing a little… he used to have a similar car and after days messing about with the mixture it turned out to be timing…
Next stop Timing
Then I saw this video on YouTube about setting the mixture and the guy had some kit that glows blue and not yellow when the mixture is good and not to rich…
