MG MG Y Type - Carburetter problem

After engine rebuild, a strange phenomenon: Cold, the engine starts willingly, with little choke needed, knob can be pushed back in after less than half a mile or so. Then for something like a quarter of an hour the engine just runs perfect. However, when hot, low rev torque starts to disappear. Sometimes I have to de-clutch, rev the engine up, to be able to accelerate at all. And when I let it idle, it just goes out, but re-starts immediately on full throttle. It has become worse over this summer. Basic carb settings look OK, the "lift-the-piston" test is correct. Now, is this a case of vapour lock, or do I need a different carb needle, to suit it to my ported TF head (bigger valves), and 8.5 compression ? Before rebuilding my engine, I never had this problem.
Remo Peter

Does the car run rich when having problems (black smoke from exhaust)? If so I'd look carefully at the float level (and/or petrol level in the jet).

On the other hand it could also be running lean, caused by ill fitting gaskets or loose manifold bolts?

Is the petrol pump delivering enough fuel?

You might need another needle but it won't cause these problems as all suitable needles have the same stationary setting.

To prevent vapour lock (which I don't think it is?) a heat shield and rerouted fuel line away from the manifold are helpfull.
Willem van der Veer

sounds like an ignition problem to me. Change the coil and condensor.The coil could be breaking down under a heating condition and the condensor is also doing the same.
Sandy Sanders
Sandy Sanders

I tuned S.U.'s, 'by the book', for years, but after adjusting with a 'Colour-Tune' kit I found my settings were too rich the old way.
Good luck!
Scott Barrow

Thanks a lot for your help.

Smoke: no
Loose connections: nil, everything checked
Float level OK
Jet petrol level: I thought when float level was right, then the level in the jet is automatically correct, too. Am I wrong here ?
Petrol pump: I noticed rapid, irregular pumping noise when very hot (when the engine misbehaves). Cold starting. a few ticks, then quiet. So I think it's not the valves in there. Rather pumping something not liquid (air sucked in, but where? vapour?)
Coil, points, condenser: all renewed upon engine overhaul ("sports" coil fitted). Perhaps a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", i.e. new parts worse than what they replaced? Have to check them all.
But it's not misfire: I set the idle a bit higher, then the engine didn't go out when I stopped the car, and idled regularly. But stepping on the accelerator (no gear engaged) simply did not make an rpm increase for 3 seconds or more, the engine just kept idling with the throttle open, before slowly picking up. Above something like 2000 rpm throttle reaction was normal again.
Plugs have greysh deposit, like they always had, I think it's from the lead substitute.
Remo Peter

Because of the irregular pumping I'd focus on the fuel delivery by the pump for now AND the condition/free movement of the float-needles.

<<Jet petrol level: I thought when float level was right, then the level in the jet is automatically correct, too. Am I wrong here ?>>

No, you're not! By looking at the fuellevel is the jet you can double check the correctness of the float level.
Willem van der Veer

Willem is right. If you switch on the fuel pump and then remove the dashpot and piston, you can look down the jet and see the fuel level. It should be about 1mm below the top of the Jet/bridge. This is the ideal fuel level regardless of where you think it has been set in the float bowl.

Since the original settings for float levels were written in 194?, the fuels have changed quite a bit.

Does anyone know the specific gravity of pump fuel in 1946 compared to 2006 ?.
Tony Slattery

Now that's interesting. That's the first time I hear fuel might have changed so much to be unsuitable for standard carb settings. I also noticed the stuff smells different since a while. Would this mean that conventional carbs, like Webers, would now need different jets, too ?
My float level has been set using the famous rod under the fork (I even have a special carb tool set from the 1960s that includes such a rod, which doubles as lifting tool for the piston to check idle mixture: Just remove the damper and stick the hollow rod into the piston: you have a handle and don't have to remove the duct from the air cleaner: very clever!)
I will check my fuel level and report back.
Still I'm puzzled why the engine should behave properly when half-warm, so badly when hot.
Remo Peter

The reason for looking at the fuel level at the bridge is that there have been several thickness of washers used between the float body and the body of the carb. Even though you have set the float level correctly with the bar it can be off. The thickness of the mounting washers determines the actual level then. I remove the piston and needle and look down the jet to see the fuel level. This is with the key on. I have used 1/8" below the bridge as a setting and have had good sucess with it for the past 25 years.
Sandy Sanders
Sandy Sanders

This is new info for me, thanks. Neither the period manuals nor the one issued by Burlen Fuel Systems mention the possibility of different thickness washers. I wonder how many SU's apparently set up correctly have their level wrong.
Remo Peter

The density of water is 1 kg./cu. M, or 1000 gm/ cu. M
The density of gasoline is 737.22 gm / cu. M
The density of Ethyl Alchohol is 789.2 gm / cu. M
There is approximately 15% alchol by volume in U.S. gasoline in my neighborhood, so the density of the mixture would be around 745 gm / cu. M.
Scott Barrow

Now if we can find out what the S/G was for pump fuel in 1948, then we might have some idea about variation in float levels from design to today.

Those Y-Typers with twin carbs should check their float levels by the bridge level method, as it is critical for twin setups to be balanced accurately.

Back in the mid-80's, I had a Midget 1275cc that had an annoying hesitation/hunting while at cruising speed. After tuning the carbs dozens of times "by the book", I tried the float level setup by the bridge method and WOW, what a difference & so simple when you think about it.

The further down the jet the fuel level is set, the greater the energy (in the form of low air pressure) that is required to draw the fuel into the airstream. It needs to be below the bridge/top of jet to avoid flooding, but not so far down that it is not easily drawn into the airstream.

Try setting your float levels by the bridge method, you will notice the difference !.
Tony Slattery

If you do remove the dashpots though, be sure to mark them (I use snowpake/white out) as to which is left and which is right. Also be sure to mark them so that you know which side is engine side and which is not.

Paul
Paul Barrow

I also made a little plywood stand for the dashpots, marked front & rear, to hold the dashpots upright to save the oil and to prevent damage to the needles.

I'll send Paul a photo for the website - it not a pretty thing, but it is effective.
Tony Slattery

I'm not yet among those with a twin-carburetted Y (anyone out there with a spare in/ex manifold ??). But at least I removed all steps between the different parts of the induction. My dashpot has punchmarks to show its correct way round. Must have been made by a PO, SU apparently never cared to mark the dashpot/body position or to make installation foolproof by some notch/tab arrangement. To protect my needle, I have stuck an old winebottle cork over it.
Remo Peter

From reading old articles about, 'Pool Petrol' which was the common lot in in Britain in the late '40s, it seems 'Pool' was a mixture of whichever grades of gasoline were available, and quite different from Regular Grade fuel here in the U.S. at the time. TCs have a micrometer adjustment for the distributor timing which was to be set by the operator in order to compensate for the weekly fuel rations' particular octane rating.
Even the lowest grade of unleaded fuel now available in the U.S. is far superior to the 'Pool' of the 1940s. The shop manuals for our cars stress the need for frequent, 'de-coking' of the cylinder head and valves, the result of very incomplete combustion. I think 'Pool' was probably 'natural' gasoline with little or no lead additve and being a admixture from various refineries.
Scott Barrow

Remo

I recently got an email from Shadetree Motors in the US telling me they had "used Y manifolds and carburetors" available - price for the manifold and carbys was $US200.

Their email address is kelsey@value.net if you want to follow up.

They also had a "used Y grille" (where would you find a new one?) for a measly $US1000 :-0
David Robley

OK, I'm at my limit here so I'm depending on you folk to check my work.

We are trying to establish the variation in float height from 1945 to 2006, due to variation in fuel quality.

The internet and Scott have provided the following.
The density of water is around 1.000g/cm3
The density of current fuel is around 0.745g/cm3
The density of natural gasoline (1945 pool fuel) is around 0.711g/cm3
The weight of a carb float is around 22.75g (I weighed 8 floats at 182 grams total)
The diameter of a carb float is around 47.4mm

By my calculations, 0.566mm depth of float displaces 1cm3 of volume.

So in water, 22.75 x 0.566 x 1 = 12.876mm depth of displacement.

In 1945 fuel, 22.75 x 0.566 x .711 = 9.155mm depth of displacement.

In 2006 fuel, 22.75 x 0.566 x 0.745 = 9.592mm depth of displacement.

So the fuel level will be 9.952-9.155 = 0.437mm lower than it should be.

I think I have now de-bunked my theory that changes in fuel density since 1945 have had a marked effect on designed float levels.

Or have I missed something ?.
Tony Slattery

I just checked the density on a drum of 102 Octane Racing Fuel - 0.778.

Racing Fuel 102, 22.75 x 0.566 x 0.778 = 10.018mm

10.018 - 9.155 = 0.862mm

If I can move the decimal point, I'd have the answer I was looking for !!!!!!!.
Tony Slattery

Keep them coming, I really like these theorized calculations! (and I thought my tire-ratio calculations were far-fetched....)
Willem van der Veer

Dear David Robley
Re. the used manifolds: I already have a spare original one (and a rad grille on my partner's living room wall, bought for something like $220). To fit dual carbs, I'd need the bits for a TD/TF. But I am reluctant: that big oil-bath filter on top gives the engine that "vintage" look...
Remo
Remo Peter

Now the weather is cold, no more problems with the engine's behaviour. 95% proof that the problem was related to high underbonnet temperature. So, I'll order that instruction on how to make a heat shield, put that on, add an insulating induction flange, and wait for days getting hot again.
Remo Peter

Peter

We are looking at adding a section to this for adding a heat shield to Twin carburettor engines too. Currently the data sheet only addresses the single carburettor.

Paul

I dismantled a Y-Saloon some time ago (YA2413) which came from a warm part of Australia (Darling Downs - I know there are warmer places !).

Interestingly, the fuel supply line for this car went around the rear of the battery box to the fuel pump and not between the engine and battery box. The pipe was well made and would have passed as an original if one had not noted that it's route was unusual. It is considerably longer than the original and is one piece all the way from the fuel tank.

Perhaps another attempt at reducing under bonnet temperature in the fuel supply. I do know that SU pumps are not good at sucking vapour !.
Tony Slattery

An interesting observation Tony, and certainly this may have helped as a fair amount of heat would be avoided. They would still have encountered the main problem though of heat from the exhaust manifold though. Interesting though!

Paul
Paul Barrow

I improved mere a few in SU carburetor of 1-1/4(Type H2 Spec.456). If original SU pulls a choke lever, a throttle and a Jet will move simultaneously. In this case, a plug may become poor. I attached the cam to reference for SU carburetor of other types. Only a throttle moves by the 1st operation and a throttle and a Jet move by operation which is the 2nd time. This improvement is very good when the winter engine has got cold completely.

I have had far too much experience with SUs (Cooper S, Jags,Aston DB5 etc). Setting the needle closing forks is at best a rough guide. Other factors are the fuel pressure as higher pressure will require the float to come higher in the bowl to overcome the force down on the needle. I have encountered the washer thickness problem on a Mk 2. Also, when cars are 50+ yrs old who knows where the bits have come from? My Aston has identical floats and bowls but when set with the bar the front is overflowing the bridge and the back one is way down the hole. (Middle carb has different fork setting (5/16") anyway so the gifted amateur without the manual will be completely bamboozled.)
Question: When people say 1/8" or 1mm below bridge/jet top, which do they mean? Jet top can easily be more than 1/8" below the bridge, in which case setting 1/8" below the bridge will have the top of the jet submerged.
Doug Young

Another expensive trap is to assume new carbs from Burlen et al will be built to original SU tolerances. I bought some new replica H8s - sand cast dashpots etc - for a C type engined XK140. Never ran well and misbehaved terribly on hot starts. Turned out there were 3 problems. 1. Dashpots not a snug fit on body (1/64" play in all directions) 2. Central guide in dashpot for piston not concentric with the inside of the dashpot, and 3 Needle boss not concentric with the rest of the piston. Centre the jet and piston fouls body of carb (but only when hot.
Resulted in piston sticking at different times and places on the bore and between the base of the piston and the body of the carb. Took years to fathom, Ended up removing lots of meat from the part of the piston which enters the carb body. Now doesnt stick anymore.
Doug Young


Dear all

Has anyone of you carburator professionals got a cut-away drawing of a SU carb, so one can see what you are referrring to, when talking about "bridge/tops" and the various levels.
As an alternative: are there any such drawings in either the Y or the TD workshop manual (TD for the twin carbs, as I restore twin YT-carbs).
Anton Piller

How long did the car sit during the rebuild? You mentioned the gas smelled funny. If it set very long, I would try fresh gas. Also, I put a new Sports Coil on my car. Failed almost immediately. Put the old coil back on, problem solved.

I have exploded parts diagrams of the SU carbs as fitted to the Saloon and to the Tourer. I will dig them up and think about posting them in the Technical Data section of the Technical Centre as PDFs.

If you need one sooner - let me know

Paul
Paul Barrow

To try and explain without a picture (perhaps I should draw one and send to Paul - note to self !), the SU carb has a circular throat. Directly below the piston (and therefore at the needle and jet), there is a raised flat "bridge" accross the bottom of the circular throat.

The top of the jet when first installed should be at the same level or height as the surface of the bridge. Adjusting the idle mixture may lower the jet a little, but not too much (less than 1mm - if more than this you have an air leak around the spindles or manifold).

The aim is to have the fuel level 3-7mm below the bridge, so the least amount of energy is requiured to draw the fuel into the airstream through the carb. If too low, you will have a flat spot on opening the throttle to accelerate, and a fluttering of engine RPM at cruising speed (part open throttle).

Remember that the fuel supply is a simple syphon from the float bowl to the jet. The height in the bowl (controlled by the float height) is related directly to the height in the jet - 1mm higher in the bowl will give 1mm higher in the jet.

cheers

Dear Paul
Yes please, let me have the exploded view asap. I think I understand now, what "bridge" is referred to - Tony Slattery's verbal explenation helped. To veryfy this, I try and include a photo of a carb-housing in my return mail to Tony.

Please note!!! I am in the posession of pictures and ownwes details of two hithero unknown Y/Ts! I will folwaed very soon

Dear Tony

Thank you for your fool-proof explenation. I understand now. It is the machined flat at the bottom of the neck, whith the Jet hole in the centre.

Remo - For a Fuel Delivery Guide that may help you determine if you have a problem in that regard, see my article at: http://www.custompistols.com/cars/dave/ddFuelDeliveryTroubleshooting.htm
I would not worry about the specific gravity of today's fuel, if that was the problem, a lot of people would be experiencing the same symptoms. I would take a close look at the ignition side of the equation. Someone wiser than I once said, "if you are having problems with the SU carburetors, first check the Lucas ignition. Cheers - Dave

This earlier thread was a useful clarification of jet setting, etc. - just now I'd appreciate clarification of a tiny thing: investigating idling and mixture problems, I discovered fuel on the outside wall of the jet tube, basically at the same level as the fuel in the jet. Dismantling the jet assembly, I thought the gland seals would be at fault; but they seemed fine.The fuel comes into the carb body via the delivery port at the base, so is it actually supposed to be at the outside of the bottom bearing? I was expecting fuel to only travel up the jet tube, for atomisation at the jet bridge - but I can see no seal on the outside of the lower bearing to prevent fuel sitting level with the fuel that's inside the jet itself. What is the function of the thin copper washer #42? Is it a seal, or is it just a wearing surface to protect the lower bearing from the spring? Sorry this is a bit vague - all help appreciated.
If you squint, you might be able to see the fuel outside the jet bearing wall.
John.





J P Hall

John,
Even though your seals appear sound, something is leaking. The copper washers, #'s 36 and 42, in the diagram are in fact seals, as are the cork rings #'38 and 43.

I would suggest you polish the outside of the jet tube with Simichrome or equivalent to remove all imperfections. Then purchase a Super Dry Bearing and Seal kit for H type SU carbs manufactured by Burlen, their p/n WZX1775. It is also available from MOSS, p/n 370-396 and NTG, p/n A290KZ.
I have retro fitted these kits to my TC and YB, and presto, zero leakage!!!!

Rocky
Rodney C "Rocky" von Dullen

Great, thank you Rocky. I didn't realise that the thin copper washers serve as seals. I like the sound of the rubber stay-dry idea - I've always had perfectly dry carbs on the outside, which lulled me into a false sense of smugness - while, by the looks if it, hiding an internal leak either from top of jet/bearing assembly downwards, or somehow from the bottom upwards. I notice NTG refer to the "required new jet bearings", which means buying a whole stay-dry bearing kit - is that your experience? I would have preferred to re-use my hardware and just replace the cork seals with the rubber stay-dry items. Obviously I can check with vendors too.
So for now I've put in all new cork gland seals because I had them here. Should be able to leak test later today, so I'll let you know.
Hope this stuff is of interest to other Y-typers.
John.
J P Hall

John,

Burlen sells a set of the three replacement rubber seals for the SuperDry kit under their p/n WZX 1779. Be advised, these are not simple o-rings. All have cross sections designed to mate with the machined brass parts of their kit (corresponding to #'s 36, 44 & 45 on your diagram).

Your H type parts are some 70 years old! And of an even older design technology. Who knows what mis-use they have suffered from ham-fisted former owners.

Had gasolene compatible rubber been available to S.U. back then I am sure they would have used it rather than cork. They evolved improved carb designs through later HS and HD types both using rubber seals.

I have no financial interest in Burlen or any or the suppliers of their products. I am interested however in preventing fuel leaks/fires on our beloved Y Types.

Hello
have not read everything
soory
but
I had the same problem for over a year with my TA and xpag engine.
Carburettor brand new but the car had problems at low revs
tried everything
had the car on a classic car rally
up and down, cool weather
same problems
but I reached the finish
one week later at home
I drove the car 800 m and the engine stopped
no chance to start it again
at home we checked the carburettor and put a spark plug on the floor, the spark was weak
It was late so we stopped.
overnight we charged the battery
The next day it started but ran terribly.
I had already got a tip to change the ignition coil for a good blue bosch one.
this we did
and
the car is unrecognizable.
The coil was a q12 repro not even 3 years old and certainly not driven more than 2000 km.
when i took it out i had an oily substance on my fingers
I would go for a new ignition coil, quick little work and.-.
i have a new engien now

Good point, thank you Rocky. I'll definitely try the NTG kit.
Franz, good to hear from you - yes, I will put in a new coil, as the YA is for daily driving. May I ask what model and specifications of coil you found effective?
Thank you.
John.

Update on the carb setting saga/ learning curve: I'd like a $ for every time I've taken off the air cleaner & its manifold, plus taken out float forks, adjusted, put back - all to spend many happy hours (on and off) peering at and measuring fuel level below the jet once the jet has been set at it's optimal "drop", which for this car seems to be 65thou below the bridge. As Dave Braun and others point out, there are so many variables to do with thickness of float bowl washers and so on, to be absolute about a "correct" juxtaposition of fuel level, jet tube drop, and actual jet height. But "creeping up on it" over the last couple of days, I now appreciate how critical float height is, as the governor of fuel supply (and therefore potentially air/fuel mixture), and the fact that small adjustments (half a flat) of the jet adjuster nut can produce surprising results between rich and lean. I've found the "twist the screwdriver" adjustment of piston height to be highly accurate - more so than my new Colortune and an ancient borrowed analogue gas analyser. The new cork (not viton yet) seals are all fine at the moment, so I'll hold off on the Stay Dry idea - I agree with Barney Gaylord's comment on an MGA Guru thread, about buying stuff that is "not the same" as original, necessitating a continuous purchase of the same product.
The archive comments above from various gurus have been enormously helpful, giving me more confidence to try the various methods for myself. Cost : zero, satisfaction level: huge. Y3348 is the better for it; she runs smoothly and is willing to touch 55mph, but I generally leave it at 50. A bonus is that a previous vibration at any engine speed (stationary) has more or less gone.
Still interested in your new coil, Franz.
John.

Hi
Just reading this, I've stayed out of it on purpose to listen basically to what others are saying/doing.
You mention the screwdriver twist method, are you using this instead of using the lift pin. Personally I think the lift pin is perfect as it has the right amount of travel to eliminate different understandings of how far to lift the piston---just interested to hear what you're doing there as opposed to using the pin. And what needle/spring como you ended up with-
cheers

There should be no damper spring in the dashpot - just the piston and cap (with a damper rod).

Tony
A L SLATTERY

mentioned that on the gas analyser thread Tony, but--
William Revit

Tony, Willy has indeed pointed out that normally there would be no piston damper spring. Only because the engine was checked out by Rod Hiley's Abingdon Motors (Brisbane) in the '80s and Ray Skewes (Melbourne) in the '90s, have I assumed it must appropriate with the carb on this car.
Been finishing off a couple of related jobs, but am desperate to try it today without the spring. It makes total sense. Sorry Willy, I hadn't forgotten your advice.
John.
J P Hall

The pic is just for interest - shows the current fuel level at say 65thou below the top of the jet tube.
Took the piston damper spring out this morning - at idle and low revs, there's a persistent drop-then-recovery in revs, like a stumble. It wasn't there before. So this arve I'll road test (any excuse), expecting it to improve but maybe not be as good as with the spring in - which I guess would explain why it was put in years ago. Shall report further. John.

J P Hall

Road test: no apparent stumble on acceleration, nor on return from the drive, sitting and idling. If anything, a slight increase in willingness to sit on 55 without feeling stressed, although I doubt she'll ever be called upon to do that. So Willy and Tony, you're right as usual. One thing - I'm running the lean needle; plan to road test the standard needle just for fun - any thoughts on what I might find, eg a bit richer for longer, so any appreciable effect on fuel consumption?
Thanks always.
John.
J P Hall

Just looking at the profile of the two needles EF-FI they're basically almost the same up to about half way so just puttering around and light throttle there's not much difference in them but from 1/2 way on the std,FI needle gradually gets a tiddle stronger(richer)
So- driving it--"IF" your lean EF needle is in fact running too lean the car should feel stronger with the std.FI needle from roughly half throttle onwards so stronger uphills, better higher speed cruising and gain revs faster in top gear.
Having said this I can't remember ever testing a std MGY so don't know if the std needle runs correct or lean or rich but it can't be far off.
Tony is the man to advise here as he's been testing by the looks of it
BUT-every car is different, a non std air filter will effect the mixture as will exhaust systems. These cars would have had baffle type mufflers and small plumbing std. so anything that has been done to free up the exhaust flow will lean the mixture out and possibly need a needle change to correct that---unless it had been running on the rich side previous to the change of exhaust.
But basically ,if your car is running too lean with the lean needle you should be able to feel the extra pull with the std fella in there

Think i might have said the same thing four times there but there you go
If you're intending doing a bit of highway driving up in the revs or lots of hilly driving it's a good idea to have the mixture either correct or a tiddle rich on full throttle to give the poor old valves a chance at survival.
willy
William Revit

Thanks Willy - I can update as follows: the aluminium/alloy piston was just that bit too light without the downward pressure of the (weakest) spring; but when I swapped for a spare brass piston and matched top, without a spring, Y3348 reverted to a nice even idle and smooth acceleration. Then I changed back to the Standard FI needle, and straightaway she was more willing in top gear, pushing quite happily to 60mph plus on the level or a slight incline. Exactly as predicted by Willy. I don't think I'll get any better, so happy to leave well alone now.
This has been a really enjoyable exercise and learning curve. The same principles will be applied to the next project, which is to strip and refresh the '53 TD we've been running since 1990, and then the TC which sits taunting me in the shed.
Thanks all, as ever.
