Assistance to restore
I purchased the above vehicle a few months ago and really need to find a mechanic in or near Mansfield Center (06250) to help me to restore it, primarily the engine and suspension.
It is still in good condition but still needs some attention.

Idle won’t adjust down below 2000 when warm
My 1978 MGb has been fitted with dual Su carbs I just replace the Su fuel pump and now when warm it idles way to high. I have adjusted the idle control all the way down. I can’t seem to find any lean/rich mixtures on the carbs. Any ideas?
