Stag Engine Repair Pt7: Ignition and carb fixes. FINALLY Will It Run?
Hello! Welcome to Mart's Garage. My Neighbour's Triumph Stag has been off the road for maybe 20 years. He used to start it but one day it had a problem. I agreed to remove the head and see what is in there. Needless to say the job snowballed into a top end engine teardown and whatever it needed to get it running again. So - can I get it running again and ultimately driving? Did I mention I'd never worked on a Triumph before let alone a Stag. So as a Stag Noob everything is new to me.
This is part 7, in which I repair the ignition, fuel system and carbs and have another attempt at starting it. So maybe this time it will run. Watch along and see how we get on.

Top job Mart👍. Very much enjoyed the videos.
I enjoyed it. I am going to do the same in my truck.
Happy New year Mart, hope all is well with you all. Best wishes Martin and Tracy
Cheers Mart. All the very best to you too!
Happy New Year Mart. Might have to do this in a range rover flywheel soon

great blog mart Gary from Crewe
Cheers Gaz. All the best to you for xmas and the new year.
Greetings Mart- As a loyal follower of your super videos, my question is, where have you gone? I have enjoyed each and every submission on your channel. I heard you were taking a well deserved break but my friend WE MISS YOU! Hopefully you will read this and maybe respond. A day without Mart's Garage is no day at all. Cheers and Merry Christmas.
Thanks for the kind words, George. Yes I'm taking a break. All the very best to you for Christmas and the new year.
Nice one Martin enjoyed that just some thing different
Thanks Martin. Glad you enjoyed it. All the very best to you for Christmas and the new year.
I used to work on cars when I was at school, I saved all my pocket money, walking someones dog, cutting the grass, chopping logs, bought myself a torque wrench and 127 piece socket set, still all there including the 10mm, broke the ratchet but got a rebuild kit, a good set looked after will last, old tools still work.
Hi Taz. Thanks for watching and commenting. All the very best to you for Christmas and the new year.
were are all the great blogs mart Gary from Crewe
Hi Gary. I'm having a break. I am working on something but want to see how it turns out before editing up the footage. Have a browse through some of the older stuff. There's lots to choose from. Thanks for regularly watching and commenting.
Great pictures. It's funny when you grew up in a black and white world you noticed the lack of colour just look at the content
Hi Pat. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Could you sell me 2 aluminium spacers for the brake and clutch conversion?
Sorry Sam, I'm not set up to make copies. You should be able to use the info in the video to make your own. Thanks for watching.
Good catch.
Hi Mart, I am missing your regular videos. If you are struggling for projects/content I was wondering if you might consider doing a winter check over and service of one of your flatty rods? I have a similar vehicle and am always keen to learn from others.
Cheers Mark. I'm having a break. I'm working on something but I want to get it to at least a semi completed stage before editing up the footage. I'll be back!
Very good nice to know that someone is still trying to solve problems on the old flathead thanks
Cheers Charles. Thanks for watching and commenting on one of the older videos.
Absolutely gripping series Mart and I learned loads. Thanks for putting the fuel tank stuff in too. Great job.
Cheers John. Glad you found it interesting. If I can add anything re the fuel system it is this: Make sure you clean and blow through any of the old system that remains. Thanks for watching and commenting.
My first car was a ford 100E popular, I loved that car wish I never sold it, it was a very good runner, sold it 1976 was in good conditions.
Cool! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hello Mart, that was a brilliant series. I didn't think I would enjoy it but ended up being in the engine bay with you in spirit. Thanks for sharing this one. The owner must be over the moon 👍👍 I am just about to start setting my own work shop out to build it. I was wondering if I could be cheeky and ask what the approximate dimensions of your garage are. Been watching you for a long time and you seem to have made good use of your space. I have similar interests to you but have not started building my garage and thought it would be a good tried and tested size. Thanks Mart
Hi Thanks for watching. Yes, I believe Dean was pleased with what I did. Re Garage size. I'd suggest you find what is the biggest you can get on your plot. It might not be big enough but can be supplemented with carport type storage.
Well done Mart she sounds really nice…great series, I must say your patience and pragmatism in dealing with one unexpected problem after another is something to learn from. 👍
I'm laughing with you (not at you) with the minor accident ... we've all done it 🥰
Takes me back 65 years to when four of us travelled up the Great North Road between Essex and Northumberland at Christmas. It took two days to get there in the 100E, I doubt we got over 40 mph at any point on the journey. We once got up to 50 on the Southend Arterial Road, but dad never did get the fuel gauge working and regularly tested the level with a stick.
Good work ‘Ol Boy!…… I never had a doubt that you would succeed in the end!…….Mark
Cheers Mark. Thanks for the confidence!
Saw the Ford Granada from the Sweeney in the opening sequence
Good work Mart... yes, looking inside those carbies and you knew they were going to need a good clean and refurb!
Hello Mike. Yeah, I was shocked what I found when I pulled them apart. Thanks for watching and commenting.
You have a great engineering mind Mart
Hi Frankie. My Grandmother always said I was "mechanically minded". Thanks for watching and commenting.
Mart have not seen your show in a while I'll try to catch up on some been busy in life good to see you
Thanks Frankie.
That was a massive uphill battle! Well done!
It was indeed, Marcus. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Sounds good Mart, I saw a comment from another subscriber, “the lathe is the mechanics friend”. In this case the lathe, the mill, the adjustable die and the flexible socket drive and a life times experience is all required. Did you consider a square section O-ring for the inlet manifold leaks, not that I know how to mill an oblong grove. Just holding the manifold on the mill was an auto-jumble triumph.
Hi Pat. Yes absolutely. I'd be really stumped if I could not just jump onto the lathe and mill. Not easy things to buy due to the weight etc but well worth the effort it takes..
Wonderful job! You are to be commended for your perseverance and tenacity to do what it takes to get it running.
Cheers Phil. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment.
Church house classics on youtube might give you the information you need on the stag engine
Hello Bruce. I got a lot of info from watching the Church House videos they were very useful to me especially on the carbs. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Excellent work. The engine is purring and seems to be working fine. Well done! Where is the 100E hiding?
Cheers Evan. The 100E is parked on the front. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Wow just amazing been watching from the beginning when each episode comes out… well done Mark..🎉🎉😊😊 great to see another one back to life..😊😊
Hello Kevin Thanks for following along. Glad you've been enjoying them. Thanks for the comment too. It's encouraging to get comments like this.
An exercise in patience and perseverance,well done Mart.
Hi Phil. Patience and Perseverance are my middle names. Unfortunately my first name is No. Lol. Thanks, as always, for watching and commenting.
Dean knows a saint. I'd really insist you get it out of your garage ASAP.
Wonderful work and a great series. Many thanks from Australia. Cheers, Peter.
Cheers Peter. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks Mart, I have really enjoyed this series of videos, well done overcoming all the hurdles, clever machining work too. Is the secret leaving the heads loose while doing up the manifold?.
Hi John. Yes, more or less. You need to let the heads align to the manifold as they get bolted down. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I enjoyed the series! wow what a job! what a big releafe that it runs, and it sounds good! what a chalenge. That motor realy makes aaur Flatheads very easy Brendan
Hi Brendan. Yeah the flattys are simpler but still have their foibles, especially if dealing with the early type valves.
Mart, its like this car dose not want to run! it has fought you all the way! but you kicked its Butt! it sure sounds good! thanks for the vids! Brendan
Fabulous Mart. Loved following this one along. Heard lots about Stag engines over the years. Never got to work on one. Working through the issues methodically and patiently you got a great result. Engine sounded sweet. Well done mate. 👏🏻👍🏻 ( I’ll bet Dean’s pretty happy with your efforts too 😂)
Cheers Steve. Glad you enjoyed it. I think Dean is happy with how it went. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Fantastic very clever man
Shucks, Limes that's very kind of you to say that. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great job Mart. Enjoyed the series, thanks for sharing.
Cheers Blackhouse. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Mart you have the patients of a saint, anyone else would have sent the car to the scrap yard LOL Congratulations on a brilliant show of perseverance and engineering skill ........a fabulous series to watch .......proper old school common sense that is as rare as rocking horse poo these days !!!! I did a head gasket on a Dolomite once, which is just half of a V8 and that was bad enough
Cheers Jak. Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, had to dig deep on this one. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Top job Sir.. She sounds sweet. Tuning the cards is not too bad.. Just balance by listening to the intake air or use a carb syncrometer. Then set mixture by just lifting the carb listen a touch and noting what the revs do. You can then adjust the needle with a special tool. They don't cost much and very hand if you work on strombergs. Some good videos online if you want to get into setting them up. Double check the timing and that the advance is working first though. 👍
Hi Struan. Since recording I have done further work on the carbs and distributor. All a steep learning curve for me. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Have enjoyed thoroughly watching you work your way through this project, you’ve done an amazing job, thanks for taking the time to share this with us all.👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Cheers Boxingday. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great series this has been mart you have persevered where many people would of given up your approach to problems are great and you have also learnt a bit on the way You’ll have all the stag owners calling you now😂😂
Ha ha yeah, good job I'm ex directory (is that still a thing? Lol)
