Finally got the Austin-Healey running again. It was down for a minute with the usual electrical problems and a tired fuel pump.
Also turned out the old SU pump was barely working and one of the bullet connectors in the ignition wiring was loose too, which caused some random misfires that bothered me. The carbs were also way out of sync, so I gave them a full tune and balance.
I managed tracked down a rebuilt SU pump and a few other odds and ends through my go to parts source and an old Healey guy from the local club here. Got everything at great prices too, cleaned up the grounds, redid the wiring ends and she fired right up.
The MG’s been solid too, just needed an oil change and a quick brake adjustment. But hearing the Healey fire after sitting quiet for so long, man, there’s just nothing like that sound.
And to top off my day, just got a notification another part I needed came in the mail today and I am way too excited to install it this weekend. Can’t wait to see how she runs with it in.
PB is super happy.
