My MG starts fine, idles fine, but when I approch a hill and the engine is under a load it wants to cut out and die. If I put the clutch in and feather the gas pedal it reves back and I can continue. It will go a little ways and then while under a load do it again. Any suggestions. Thanks Don

first check your fuel filter. Then check fuel pressure it should be 3 #. Then if you have points in itcheck the points for gap and timing. If not any of those then maybe go through your carb checks and adjustments.
