Tuning 101:
Getting your SU's set properly.
...or...
How to get your car running the way you want, without frustration.

The biggest hassle with getting an MG (or other British car) running properly is multiple SU carbs. Not that there's anything wrong with the carbs themselves, but there's this incredible temptation to "fiddle" with them, and the range of possible adjustment is large and varied enough that you can really get things out of whack in a hurry. This tends to result in owners going prematurely bald from tearing their hair out trying to get the car running properly.

I've been there, done that, and fortunately my scalp healed up nicely. However, in the interest of keeping other MG owners from having to wear baseball caps ALL the time to hide the missing patches, I humbly present a methodical process for making your MG run it's best.
