    Re: no spark when cranking on my 77 mgb

    poolboy,

      I did mean the haynes manual. 

      I took the spark plugs out and tried to turn the fan.  it does turn, with some effort.  the belt that is attached the the pully on the fan turns with the fan, but, the lower pully that the engine should turn does not turn at all.  I am guessing from what you have said that this means that the engine is frozen up?  What would cause this to happen?  You said before that the only way to unfreeze it is to roll the car, is this correct?  what is this accualy doing to unfreeze it?  If this is what I must do to continue with this car, than I will do what I have to to get it accomplished.  Please respond with as much advice that you can give me.

     

    thanks again,

    fireman
