The Engine is back in the MGB GT. I fit a new clutch slave cylinder and do a quick carb balance before we take it for a test drive.

Great video, I remember when I was younger doing things like you are doing. It's good to see people suffering even after all the years

If you don't have a funnel handy you can cut the top off a small plastic bottle to make one.

I’m afraid you witnessed pure laziness, I could have walked 10 feet for a funnel… but chose not too!

By coincidence just yesterday I replaced both the clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder on my Wolseley 1500 so I can definitely share some of the pain with you. That brake fluid gets everywhere and it did't help my state of mind when having got a decent pedal pressure after laying on my back on a cold concrete floor for what seemed an eternity I decided to ask for one more push on the pedal and ended up with air back in the system! And don't even ask about how long it took laid on my back like a practicing contortionist in the footwell to get the clevis pin back through the master cylinder rod and clutch pedal due to it fouling the steering column. Strong language rent the air asunder until I finally I figured it out, but hey ho such is life........

16:00 make sure both throttle forks on the linkage are lose and then balance them. Once they are balanced then set them to engage the throttle plate at the same time. I like to set them with a bit of play either way of the linkage fork. You can't use the cable while lose as they are then independent. That's the way to base line them.

That was a nifty tool for setting up the twin carbs, I don't ever remember seeing one of those back when I worked on them. That's turned out to be a good example of the breed that your brother has bought himself.

It’s very handy for twin carbs, turning out to be a rather good buy this one.

Is that an mgb thing taking the engine out to do the clutch?

@badgerlodgegarage 4 ай бұрын
Yes it is sadly. There is no easy way of getting the gearbox out, so it’s either pull the engine or the whole engine and box in one go.
