Chicagoland MG Club: Driveline

December 2021

Important Info

2021 CMGC and VMGCC Members' Choice Award

As this year's driving season winds down, it's not too early for each of us (member drivers and navigators) to start thinking about what Driving Events what might be the season's favorite.

To refresh your memory, here are the events of 2021 (Driving Events for which there have been dash plaques):

Tune-Up Clinic Spring Chicken Run Lake County Fun Run Blackhawk Farms Raceway

Westmont Cruisin' Night Tally Ho Rally Powell Garage Tour Wis. WCB Stop

Halloween Rally Tune-Down Clinic

The tally will likely be done sometime in December. The "tally master" will be Doug Clark. Send an email to him (mgtbc@sbcglobal.net) with your Choice after the 2021 final Driving Event. The Award will likely be presented at the tentatively scheduled (in early 2022) CMGC / VMGCC Annual Banquet.

Remember, this is our (the membership of each Club) chance to give our voice for our Choice of our favorite Driving Event.

~~ Doug G. Clark

Moss Motors MGB Tech Tips (con't)

Carb Will Not Idle Down Sometimes the carb. will not idle at lower than 1000 or 1200 rpm. This is almost always a mechanical problem, but the possibilities include:
	1.	The throttle cable is stiff or incorrectly adjusted. Leave loose until the carb is adjusted, then tighten.
	2.	The automatic choke cam is not returning to full off position. Levers may be bent or jammed.
	3.	The overrun valve in the throttle disc may "float"; the spring may have lost its force due to a carb. fire or other gross overheating. Replace or solder shut.
