77 MG Midget Running Rough Diagnosis
Hello everyone, I am helping a family friend fix up his 77 MG midget with a 1.5L. The car has been sitting partially taken apart for 4 years. The guy they had repairing this car disappeared. So I was asked to pick up the pieces. I was told it ran and drove fine 4 years ago. Everything I replaced was because it was damaged or missing. I will list it all below what I had to replace. Now I got it running but it wont rev up (gas pedal does nothing). And it feels, sounds, and smokes like its misfiring. Fuel is indeed reaching the carb (visble throught the clear filter installed. Any help would be appreciated.
List of parts I had to replace:
-spark plugs
-spark plug wires
- cap/rotor
- new battery
- oil change
- carburetor clean/gasket kit
