Introduction to the MG B Starter System

The MG B is a classic British sports car that is beloved by enthusiasts around the world. To ensure that your MG B starts reliably, maintaining the starter system is crucial. This system is a key component of the vehicle's electrical lighting and overall electrical framework, playing a pivotal role in igniting the engine.

Understanding the Starter System in Your MG B

The starter system in your MG B consists of several key components that work together to start the engine. This includes the starter motor, ignition switch, battery, and associated wiring. When you turn the key in the ignition, the battery sends a surge of power to the starter motor, which then turns the engine over. If any of these components are not functioning properly, your MG B may experience difficulties starting.

Signs of Starter System Issues

There are several telltale signs that the starter system in your MG B may need attention. These include a clicking sound when turning the key, the engine not turning over, or the starter motor running but not engaging. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's important to inspect your starter system components and address any issues promptly.

What is a Starter Motor?

The starter motor is exactly what it says on the tin. It's simply an electric motor that turns your engine on which you switch the ignition. The starter motor needs a fair amount of torque to get the engine to turn at such a fast speed. So that the engine draws the fuel and air into the cylinders and can compress them simultaneously.

How do you know if your Starter Motor is Gone?

If you start the car and the engine won't start then it could be either a dead battery or it could be a failing starter motor

You may notice one of these symptoms of a broken starter motor:

  • Grinding - If the starter motor produces a grinding noise when being engaged, it's possible that it's worn out and needs replacing
  • Smoking - If your see smoke coming from your engine when you start the car, the battery could be pushing too much power to the motor causing it to short
  • Oil soak - As the starter motor sits below the engine, it's vulnerable to oil leaking from the engine and soaking the motor causing it to fail
  • Broken solenoid - The solenoid's role is to deliver the electric current from the battery to the starter motor when the engine is started. If the solenoid is damaged, the starter motor may not be getting the power it needs

What is an Ignition Switch?

The ignition switch is a system that includes the ignition lock cylinder and is part of the entire ignition system. It is responsible for starting the car, as well as providing power to the engine, ignition, and electronic applications within the car.

What are the Symptoms of Ignition Switch Failure?

There are several ignition switch failures to look out for and these are:

  • Your car stalls while driving
  • The car starts and then cuts out
  • The engine doesn't start at all
  • Issues turning or removing the key
