New to me 1974 Jensen Healey, Vin# 19628, Engine# B74 12 10696 Looks to be original paint, no obvious rust, 5 speed and Dellortos DHL 45C. Car idles rough but dies when trying to take off. I just noticed this morning that the carburetors are barely tightened down, and other bolts are loose as well. Lock washers are not compressed. This is a project and I have a lot to learn.

Congrats on your acquisition I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. My VIN is 19661 so we're pretty close. I think you'll find it to be roomy and comfortable and will outperform it's contemporaries like 914, TR6, Fiat 124, TR7 and will even stay with a TR8. Good luck and remember this is a great resource for any future problems.

Thank you noomg, I suspect I will be asking many questions in my pursuit to get this car running and back on the road. I have a tattered shop manual that I'm perusing and a list of parts that will need to be ordered.

Unfortunately the workshop manual from the factory is very bare bones so while you can find one in better condition there is no comprehensive manual like a Bentley's available. Also if you haven't already I'd recommend joining the JHPS.
