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

High beams stuck on after H4 conversion

98 XJ 2 door, I recently converted to H4 bulbs for the head lights, with the appropriate housing. Now when I turn on my night time lights the highbeam comes on instead. Any ideas? Thank you.

Bushwacker Flat Fender Flares

Hello everyone! I recently pulled some parts from a 1995 Jeep Cherokee XJ at my local junkyard. The truck had a nice set of Bushwacker Flat Fender Flares (which I obviously grabbed 😄).

I've just listed them on eBay, and I'm not looking to get rich off them, so no reasonable offer will be ignored. The link to my eBay attached to this post.

I'd also be happy to work out a deal outside of eBay if anyone is interested. I'm located in Ontario, Canada, and I have no problem shipping to the U.S.

Please send me a direct message if you're interested! 😊

Did I make a mistake?

30m who is unsure about his current life. I sent all my 20s killing myself with a day job, starting a buisness after work, and flipping vehicles on the side until I could buy my own house. I always wanted my own garage to work on my project cars but unfortunatel, I think i put my entire life on hold to reach where I am today. I used to get alot of attention from girls but it seems like dating nowadays isn't what it once was and most people my age are married or about to be married. Where do I go from here? Thanks.

Hello fellow Mazda 3 owners. Im chasing an intermittent P0171 code on my moms 2013 Mazda 3 2.0L Sky Active (engine code 7). It usually comes on in the fall, stays till the warmer weather then clears itself till it gets cold again. There is no visible tears in the PCV, intake elbow, or air box. Nor are there any vaccum leaks present. An inspection of the sparkplugs confirms a lean mixture for sure. Without a smoke machine or a high end scanner I've hit a road block. Has anyone else ran into this issue? We have had the car for quite a while now. The vehicle performance is not compromised at all when the engine light is on. Any help or tips would be appreciated. Thanks.
